Mena Aerospace Enterprises' airline division, MAE Aircraft Management, completed the induction and registration of a Boeing 737-300F under its Bahrain Aircraft Operating Certificate.

This is the third aircraft that MAE Aircraft Management is operating in its fleet with the intent of increasing the number of aircraft to double that figure over the next couple of years.

"The majority of global aviation players are looking to the Middle East as the next area of growth in the industry," said Mena Aerospace Enterprises managing director Dr Mohamed Juman.

"We have experienced this trend first-hand in Bahrain. Despite the regional situation, we continue to enjoy stability in Bahrain that has resulted in the confidence that aircraft owners have in Bahrain and in us as a company and an operator.

"This achievement represents a significant expansion of the operational capabilities of the company," he added.

Despite operating a principal, core schedule of flights in the region, the aircraft is available for charter to third parties.

The aircraft owner's principal client supported the choice to base and operate the aircraft in Bahrain due to Bahrain's central and strategic location in the Gulf, and ease with which the region can be served from here.

This current Boeing 737-300 will be joined by its sister ship on the Bahrain register and will also be operated by MAE Aircraft Management in the very near future. – TradeArabia News Service
