ExecuJet Middle East announces plans for new facility at Dubai World Central.

Friday 14th November, 2008

ExecuJet Middle East has secured land at Dubai World Central Airport plans to construct a custom built new facility at DWC. This will cater for the expected growth of both the aviation industry as well as ExecuJet service solutions across the region.

ExecuJet Middle East Managing Director Mike Berry envisages a larger facility at DWC which will enable them to provide increased maintenance support across a wider region. “We believe that the new facility at DWC will allow us to offer a wider range of options for our clients whilst providing the best service possible”. The plans also include an additional FBO VIP passenger centre that will cater for an increased number of clients. This will also give ExecuJet the opportunity to significantly expand on the amount of managed aircraft under the Middle East fleet.

The company will retain its current facility at Dubai International Airport which includes 24,358 sq ft of hangar space and houses a Bombardier and Honeywell bonded warehouse, managed by ExecuJet, and comprises a rapidly increasing stock of high demand spare parts for many product lines.

It has been a busy time in the Middle East with the AVEX Airshow & Airport Expo in Sharm El Sheik, Egypt taking place beginning of November where ExecuJet showcased the Learjet 60XR as well as the Middle East Business Aviation Airshow (MEBA) scheduled for mid November in Dubai where ExecuJet will be exhibiting as well as showcasing a range of different aircraft. Middle East Managing Director Mike Berry is concerned that sales in the region will be impacted by the current global economic downturn, “Business aviation has been expanding rapidly in the Middle East and the current climate is starting to be felt on the business within the region. This is a region that has over the past year produced some of the highest growth figures globally, which under the current climate cannot be expected to be continued”
