Falcon Invests $100M in Al Maktoum Airport Expansion

Falcon has unveiled a significant $100 million investment to enhance its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at Al Maktoum International Airport. Situated within the prestigious Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub, the 13,705 sq. m. facility boasts cutting-edge technology, enabling it to service a wide range of aircraft, including the Airbus A380.

Certification and Operational Authorization

In 2024, the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) granted Falcon CAR 145 certification, officially allowing the company to initiate MRO operations in the region. Additionally, Falcon secured a GCAA CAR PART V Chapter 3 (CAR 145) certificate, recognizing it as an Approved Maintenance Organisation. With these certifications, Falcon is now authorized to provide maintenance services for aircraft such as the Bombardier Challenger and Embraer models.

Aligning Growth with Al Maktoum International Airport’s Expansion

As Al Maktoum International Airport undergoes rapid development, Falcon is strategically positioning itself to align with this transformation. By 2030, the airport is projected to handle up to 260 million passengers, solidifying its status as the world’s busiest aviation hub. To support this unprecedented growth, Falcon is expanding its MRO capabilities while also introducing a new private jet terminal to enhance premium aviation services.

Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investments, Falcon’s parent company, highlighted the company’s steady progress. “Falcon Technic has experienced significant expansion.
