Fokker gets approval for UAE aircraft worldwide

Fokker Services is part of Fokker Aerospace Group, which develops and produces advanced components and systems for the aerospace industry and supplies integrated maintenance services and products to aircraft owners and operators.

The company says it has ambitions in the Middle East.

Stephen Hands, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Fokker Aircraft Services, said: "We have far reaching capabilities for all airframe maintenance and modification needs and at Fokker we are able to provide a One-Stop-Shop solution for all airframe support. We consider ourselves highly experienced as a leading MRO and are constantly looking to ways in expanding our horizons in meeting customer needs.

“The mix of painting and MRO support is widely recognized as adding value to customers reducing aircraft downtime and eliminating non-revenue flights. Fokker has tremendous capabilities and a growing reputation for the Boeing 737 and A320 families, the CRJ700 in addition to our own aircraft types.

The company said it already has commitments from customers in the region but declined to be more specific. It offers a range of maintenance and business completion services for Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft. Yesterday the company also added to its capabilities, signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Fokker Services to jointly develop logistics support solutions for the Dash 8/Q100/200/300 aircraft models through Fokker’s comprehensive ABACUS programme.
