Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies Adds Another Designation as Engine
Alliance Announces a New Member of the GP7200 MRO Network
Dubai, UAE; June 18, 2009: Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies and Engine
Alliance today announced an agreement that will make the Mubadala
Development Company affiliate  a member of the Engine Alliance
maintenance, repair and overhaul network provider for the GP7200
engines.
Having this capability in Abu Dhabi offers a significant benefit to
prospective GP7200 operators in the Middle East, who will have
convenient access to an Engine Alliance-branded, full-service repair and
overhaul shop in the region. The Middle East is already the largest
contributor to the GP7200 production backlog..
“As we implement our new growth strategy, we are looking to expand our
product portfolio and build it around next-generation products and
technologies that reinforce our position as the Middle East’s foremost
independent aviation technical services provider,” said John Byers, CEO,
Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies.
John continued, “Providing GP7200 capability at Abu Dhabi Aircraft
Technologies is perfectly aligned with our strategy. Engine Alliance is
a long-term partner with a strong regional customer base and a leading
product that is derived from GE’s and Pratt & Whitney’s latest and best
propulsion technologies.”
“We are thrilled to have this agreement with Abu Dhabi Aircraft
Technologies to cooperate on GP7200 engine MRO activity in this vitally
important part of the world,” said Engine Alliance President Jim
Moravecek.
The two companies expect to finalise the transaction by the third
quarter of 2009, and will start to work together immediately thereafter
to get the Abu Dhabi facility fully certified and operational by 2012.
