Flydubai breaks ground on new Aircraft Maintenance Centre at Dubai South
Spread over 32,600 square metres, the maintenance centre will house an aircraft hangar, support workshops and office buildings. The construction of the Aircraft Maintenance Centre underscores flydubai's dedication to strengthening its inhouse capabilities and reflects the carrier's growing maturity as it expands its fleet and network.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by a senior delegation led by Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, who joined Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer of flydubai, as well as representatives from the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH).
Al Zaffin said, 'This facility reinforces our commitment to supporting the aviation sector through state-of-the-art infrastructure and to further positioning Dubai as a leading global hub for aviation.'
Al Ghaith stated, 'This is a strategic step towards supporting our growing maintenance requirement and capacity as we take delivery of more aircraft, and reaffirms our long-term commitment to innovation, operational efficiency and supporting Dubai's position as a global leader in aviation and business excellence.'
The carrier signed an agreement with MBRAH for its first purpose-built Aircraft Maintenance Centre at the 2023 Dubai Airshow.
Located in Dubai South, the district offers an aviation and logistics ecosystem that makes it an ideal location for the carrier's facility. The maintenance centre will be situated near Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), set to become the world's largest airport upon completion.
The new maintenance centre will be home to the carrier's expanding team of more than 600 skilled engineers working in Line Maintenance, Technical Services, Materials and Workshops, tasked with guaranteeing the safety and airworthiness of flydubai's fleet.

What's in It for You? ✅ Priority access to new property launches ✅ Discounted prices on select units ✅ Flexible mortgage options from top banks ✅ Easy online registration via the DLD website or Dubai REST app ✅ Zero-interest registration fee payment plans The program is open to any UAE resident over 18 with a valid Emirates ID, who hasn't owned a property before. You can buy an apartment or villa worth up to AED 5 million, and there are no restrictions on renting or selling it later. Big Names Backing the Program Some of the developers involved include Emaar, Nakheel, DAMAC, Danube, and Azizi, while banks like Emirates NBD, CBD, and Emirates Islamic are offering mortgage deals. Property platforms like Bayut, Property Finder, and Dubizzle are also in the mix.
