ExecuJet Middle East (EJO, Dubai World Central) has unveiled plans to relocate its Dubai FBO and MRO operations to a single facility located at Dubai World Central.
The Luxaviation Group unit said in a statement construction of the facility is due to commence early next year with an estimated completion date set for the end of 2019, in time for the start of Dubai Expo 2020.
"The brand new 25,700sqm facility will be ExecuJet's regional HQ for the Middle East, home to an FBO, MRO services with 13,800sqm of on-site hangar floor space, along with associated ExecuJet support services offices," it said.
The FBO and MRO line-team, currently in place at Dubai World Central, will continue to provide maintenance support 12 hours a day, seven days a week; further supported by a 24-hour AOG hotline.
"The Middle East is a key region for us, with roughly 20% of the Luxaviation Group's overall business stemming from it. It is therefore essential that our facilities reflect this demand and it brings me great pleasure to be announcing our relocation to a much larger site at Al Maktoum," Mike Berry, Executive Vice President Aviation Services, Luxaviation Group, said.
ExecuJet currently manages two facilities in Dubai; at Dubai International and its temporary facilities at DWC, with both providing FBO and MRO services. The Dubai International facility features eight luxury lounges with landside access, a Duty-Free shop, ground handling and flight planning services. The 600sqm Dubai World facility has four VIP lounges, a crew lounge and two transit lounges.
