Satys has opened a new aircraft painting hangar at Dubai's Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW). The announcement this week follows the signing of a <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-12-10/execujet-signs-mou-local-paint-services-satys">memorandum of understanding in December</a> between the French company and business aviation services group ExecuJet MRO Services.
According to Satys, it aims to offer an alternative to sending aircraft overseas for painting services, reducing costs and turnaround times for regional operators. The Middle East is seeing growth in the number of locally-based business aircraft.
The hangar spans 25,830 sq ft and is set to begin operations in the second quarter of 2025. With a workforce of 30 skilled employees, the facility is equipped to handle aircraft painting for business jets and commercial models, including the Airbus A321 and Boeing 737.&nbsp;
“This state-of-the-art facility will enable us to deliver faster, high-quality services for both VIP and commercial aircraft,” said Satys Group CEO Christophe Cador. “Dubai’s strategic location is key to our growth in the Middle East and Asia, and we’re proud to be a trailblazer in bringing innovative aircraft painting solutions to the region.”
ExecuJet MRO Services, which is wholly owned by Dassault Aviation, provides maintenance, repair and overhaul support for Falcon business aircraft, as well as Bombardier, Embraer, Gulfstream and Hawker models <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-01-09/easa-approves-execujet-middle-east-global-7500-mx">at its Dubai facility</a>.
