ADAC says the Mistral Engines MoU establishes the framework to allow the two parties to explore opportunities for the development and production of Mistral’s products in Al Ain. ADAC anticipates that this MOU will lead to the establishment of a research centre and production facility at the new Al Ain Aerospace Cluster.

While Beagle Aerospace will look lead to local spares warehousing at Al Ain, providing off-the-shelf availability for aircraft components such as flaps, spoilers, engine cowls and thrust reversers, meaning faster response times for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations.  Its future plans include the commissioning of a purpose built specialist composite repair facility at Al Ain.

Generation Metals aims to utilise the its supply chain management expertise as well as providing an extensive range of aerospace metallics to businesses operating in the wider region.

“The signing of the MoU this morning demonstrates the tremendous strength of our collaboration and points to a very promising future,” said ADAC Chairman HE Khalifa Mohamed Al Mazrouei at the Paris Airshow this morning.
