RH Aero Advances Dubai South Transition to Expand MEA Support

27.01.2026

RH Aero Systems is advancing preparations for its transition to Dubai South’s Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH), aligning teams and capabilities to be fully operational for MEA customers from February 2026, expanding local tooling services, GSE lifecycle support, and regional response capacity.

Dubai, UAE, January, 2026 — RH Aero Systems is continuing preparations for its transition to Dubai South’s Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH), strengthening regional capacity and accelerating support for customers across the Middle East & Africa (MEA).

Last week, RH Aero teams came together in Dubai for a cross-functional workshop and team event, aligning processes, responsibilities, and readiness activities as we move toward commissioning our Dubai South operation.

“Our Dubai workshop was a key step to align the full team on service execution and day-one readiness,” said Christian Hug, Operational Lead Dubai. “With the move to Dubai South, we’re expanding local capacity and bringing faster, more reliable support to MEA customers, especially around Tooling services and lifecycle support for GSE products, starting with our February 2026 go-live.”

The Dubai South facility, announced as a 2,800 sqm. site, is designed as a regional hub for Ground Support Equipment (GSE), Tooling Services and On-Site Support.

A core focus of the new facility is expanded, locally available tooling support for MEA operators and MROs. From Dubai South, RH Aero will provide tooling service and lifecycle support aligned with our established OEM licensing and approval frameworks, including:

  • Inspection, repair coordination, and lifecycle support for engine tooling and associated equipment
  • Regional response capability to reduce downtime, improve planning, and streamline tooling availability for MEA operations

In addition to tooling services, the site will support MEA customers with Engine Stands and GSE service and support, delivered by a dedicated team of 30+ employees across Operations, Service, and Sales.

Located in Dubai South, the new operation is positioned for the region’s continued aviation growth around Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC)—supporting customers with localized expertise and scalable capacity as the ecosystem expands.
