DC Aviation Al-Futtaim Completes 1st Global 6000 60-Month Check

DC Aviation Al-Futtaim (DCAF), an aviation services provider at Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), has completed its first 60-month maintenance check on a Bombardier Global 6000. This was the largest inspection ever accomplished by the DCAF team, which put in more than 2,000 hours of labor while managing logistical challenges with the support of local and international suppliers.

A joint venture between Stuttgart, Germany-based DC Aviation and UAE business conglomerate Al Futtaim, the facility holds EASA and UAE General Civil Aviation Authority Part 145 maintenance authorization for various aircraft, including the Airbus 320 family, Bombardier Globals and Challenger 604/605/650 models, and the Dassault Falcon 7X and 900.

Located just off the runway, DCAF occupies nearly 150,000 sq ft of dedicated hangar space with a 14,000-sq-ft FBO. In addition to heavy and line maintenance, the company also provides aircraft ground handling charter and management.

“The successful completion of this complex inspection further highlights the investments we have made in expanding our capabilities, which have allowed us to provide our customers with reliable and cost-effective maintenance services,” said Chris Rosewarne, the facility’s maintenance manager. “We are delighted to offer this high level of expertise and comprehensive support, including battery and wheel shop capabilities for Global and Challenger aircraft at DWC.”
