Jet Aviation is marking the 20th anniversary of its FBO and business aircraft MRO services in Dubai this week. The business aviation support group opened its facility at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) in 2005 to boost its presence in the growing Middle East market, having been present in Saudi Arabia since 1979.
The company has since made further investments, starting with the opening of a second FBO at Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW) in 2012. Five years later, this facility moved to its current location in the shared VIP terminal.
Jet Aviation expanded its MRO capabilities in the region through the 2018 acquisition of Hawker Pacific and RBIH Dubai, which offer helicopter support, including spares and blade repairs in partnership with Bell. In 2024, the Dubai facility became an authorized support provider for the Pilatus PC-24, adding to its existing capability for the PC-12.
In the same year, General Dynamics sister company Gulfstream appointed its as an authorized service center for the G700. The company, which has 50 facilities and 4,500 employees worldwide, also provides aircraft management, charter and sales services, as well as cabin interior completions.
Last year, Jet Aviation celebrated its 45th anniversary in Saudi Arabia, where it has FBOs in Jeddah, Medina, and Riyadh. A company spokeswoman told AIN that the group is committed to supporting future growth in the Middle East business aviation sector.
