The Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South has officially inaugurated a new 2,800 m² (30,000 ft.²) facility for RH Aero Systems.

The RH Aero Service Center is now the company’s regional hub for ground support equipment and engine and airframe tooling services across the Middle East, Africa, and India.

Divided into four adjacent bays of 700 m² each, the center has been designed to allow for future expansion and capability upgrades.

MBRAH CEO Tahnoon Saif said Feb. 18 that the launch reinforced Dubai’s global aviation ambitions.

“The expansion of internationally recognized players such as RH Aero reflects the confidence that leading aviation partners place in MBRAH’s integrated ecosystem and contributes to our mandate of empowering the aerospace industry,” Saif said.

Martin Dürr, RH Aero’s lead in the region, said the new center was a “key step” in the company’s long-term growth and customer support strategy.

“This facility will allow us to deliver faster turnaround times, OEM-aligned tooling and GSE service solutions, and enhanced service proximity to our partners across the Middle East, Africa, and India,” Dürr said.
