GE Aerospace has certified ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East as an authorized service center (ASC) for line maintenance on GE Passport engines, which power the Global 7500 aircraft. ExecuJet MRO Services is the sole ASC for this engine type in both North Africa and the Middle East.
The company has long maintained a strong relationship with GE and is already an ASC for several variants of the GE CF34 engine, including the -1A, -3, and -10E. It operates a state-of-the-art MRO facility at Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport. It also conducts non-destructive testing for GE Aerospace’s GE90 family of commercial engines.
ExecuJet MRO Services in Australia and South Africa were appointed as GE ASCs for the Passport engine several years ago.
ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East was recently approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to carry out both line and base maintenance on European-registered Global 7500s, with approvals being expanded to other NAA authorities currently in process.
As an ASC for Passport engines, ExecuJet’s scope of work includes line maintenance, troubleshooting, component changes, borescope inspections, and engine changes.
“All aircraft under a GE Passport engine maintenance and warranty program must visit a GE ASC, including for engine changes and refits,” said Nick Weber, Regional Vice President, Middle East at ExecuJet MRO Services. “We expect this GE certification to bring more Global 7500s to our MRO facility for heavy airframe maintenance checks, which often coincide with engine overhauls and inspections.”
ExecuJet has made significant investments in tooling and ground support equipment for Passport engines and has also sent an engineer to GE Aerospace in Berlin for specialized Passport engine maintenance training.
