Jet Aviation Dubai has been approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in the UAE to support Airbus A320 series aircraft. 

The company already holds Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval and is currently working to secure European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approval.

This GCAA approval authorises Jet Aviation Dubai to support all Airbus A320 series aircraft registered in the UAE with line and base maintenance.

“Large Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJs) are very popular in the Middle East and we’re pleased to extend our support to these heavy iron aircraft, many of which we’re proud to note were completed at our Basel Completions Centre,” says Hardy Butschi, vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Dubai. “This approval strengthens our ability to provide quality maintenance support to the popular Airbus A320 corporate jet variants."

Jet Aviation Dubai’s maintenance and FBO location was established in May 2005 as a joint venture company with the Al Mulla Business Group. The facility has a total of 4,200 square meters (45,192 square feet) of hangar space, a workshop area of 1,000 square meters (10,760 square feet) and a two-story FBO building with an area of 1,050 sq m (11,300 sq ft). The facility holds EASA #145.0317 maintenance approval and is an FAA #U8JY426Y repair station. It also holds Bahrain CAA, Bermuda DCA, Cayman CAA, India DGCA, San Marino CAA, Saudi Arabia GACA, UAE GCAA (NAA), Pakistan CAA and Afghan CAA approvals. Jet Aviation Dubai is an authorised service centre for maintenance and warranty support to Boeing BBJ, the Gulfstream G150, G200, GIV and GV, G450, G550 and G650 series, the Dassault Falcon 900, 2000 and 7X series, and full service capability for Hawker Beechcraft 800/900 series, Airbus ACJ series and Embraer Legacy aircraft. The company expanded its VIP handling service delivery to Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai South (formerly Dubai World Central) in December 2012.
