The Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) in Dubai has partnered with UUDS, a leader in the business aviation industry, to open a new facility at Dubai South. This is the third facility for UUDS and aims to deepen its presence in the city. The agreement was signed during the Dubai Airshow, with the Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, Khalifa Al Zaffin, presiding over the ceremony. Tahnnon Saif, CEO of MBRAH, and Gilles Negre, CEO and Group Owner of UUDS, signed the agreement in the presence of executives from both entities.

The new hangar, located at a Code F plot at MBRAH, will offer Aircraft Management and On-Wing Cabin services. Features include an Aircraft Cabin Completion and Modification Centre, VIP Aircraft Parking, and Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support, as well as helicopter services. UUDS already has an existing facility at the Aerospace Supply Chain cluster, and it recently acquired an entire floor at the Suppliers Complex to provide cabin equipment refurbishment and modification services.

Tahnnon Saif expressed delight over the growing partnership with UUDS, highlighting it as a testament to the recovery and huge demand in the aviation sector. He emphasized the advanced infrastructure and services provided as part of Dubai South’s overall ecosystem. Gilles Negre noted that the third facility in Dubai positions the emirate as the only city in the world to host three facilities for UUDS. The region is seen as a potential market aligned with UUDS’s expansion strategy.

UUDS is a fully integrated cabin completion and modification service center with key certifications from the EASA and GCAA. It provides design, certification, manufacturing, maintenance, and implementation of aircraft services, as well as innovation and technology solutions. In addition to being a global aerospace hub, MBRAH offers connectivity and serves as a free-zone destination for leading airlines, private jet companies, MROs, and associated industries. It seeks to strengthen engineering industries to support Dubai’s vision of becoming a leading aviation hub.
