The Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) and France’s Satys will develop a paint hangar at MBRAH that spreads across 33,000 sq ft and with the latest technology. 

An agreement to this effect was signed by Tahnoon Saif, CEO of MBRAH, the aerospace platform of Dubai dedicated to the advancement of the aviation industry, and Frederic Seguy, Business Development Deputy Director at Satys, the French group specialised in aircraft sealing and painting on the sidelines of MRO Middle East in Dubai.

Construction of the new hangar will commence this year and is expected to conclude by Q3 2023. Once complete, Satys will provide private jets and narrow-body aircraft painting.

Saif said: “This partnership confirms the recovery of the aviation sector and the high demand for general aviation services. It also underlines our position in attracting the top global players in the aviation sector to establish their presence in the emirate and operate in an integrated, economic environment, where they can connect with international markets. We will spare no effort to solidify and cement Dubai’s position on the world aviation map.”

Christophe Cador, CEO of Satys, said: “This new partnership with MBRAH will enable us to expand our existing global presence from the 13 countries we currently operate from. We are pleased to provide our extensive services to customers from across the region and then limit ferry flights and the impact on the environmental footprint.”

MBRAH offers global aerospace players high-level connectivity and is a free-zone destination for the world’s leading airlines, private jet companies, MROs, and associated industries.

Located in and developed by Dubai South, MBRAH is also home to maintenance centres and training and education campuses.
