French engine maker Snecma (Stand W420) and Baynuna Aviation Technology (BAT), a Abu Dhabi-based defense company, have formed a joint venture called Snecbat Engine Technologies, which will also be based in Abu Dhabi. Snecbat’s capabilities are to include civil and military engines services. It will focus particularly on the military aspect since the United Arab Emirates has a fleet of Snecma M53-powered Mirage 2000 fighters and is a prospect for the Dassault Rafale, which is fitted with a pair of M88s.

“We want to be ready if the Emirates choose the Rafale,” Snecma chairman and CEO Philippe Petitcolin told AIN. Earlier this year, the other two members of the Rafale team–Dassault and Thales–also created joint ventures with BAT.
