RH Aero Systems (RH Aero), a global leader in aviation support equipment and tooling based in Ohio, US, has announced the opening of its new service centre at The Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) in Dubai South. Spanning over 2,800 sq m, it is divided into four adjacent bays of 700 sq m each. It has been designed to accommodate future growth and capability expansion, reflecting RH Aero’s long-term.
According to MBRAH, the facility’s core capabilities include inspection, testing, calibration, and recertification; maintenance, repair and overhaul of tooling and Ground Support Equipment (GSE). Additionally, it will provide proof-load testing, modification and upgrade programmes, as well as local technical support, on-site service, and AOG (Aircraft on Ground) assistance.
Together, these services will enhance RH Aero’s ability to deliver rapid, OEM-licensed tooling support and end-to-end service solutions to airlines, MROs and OEM partners across the region, it stated.
The official inauguration ceremony was attended by senior leadership from both organisations, including Tahnoon Saif, the Chief Executive Officer of MBRAH, and Martin Dürr, the Executive Vice President for EMEAI Region at RH Aero.
