MENA Aerospace, the Bahrain-owned provider of comprehensive aviation and aerospace services and partner of Bahrain International Airport (BIA), has announced a significant milestone in the company’s development and for Bahrain’s aviation sector.
Entering into a partnership with German-based HAITEC, one of Europe’s leading FAA-approved maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) companies, MENA Aerospace will operate an expanded technical facility from its Bahrain hangar, servicing the Middle East and Africa regions, and focusing on the widely-used narrow-bodied airframes.
MENA Aerospace operates the only private hangar at BIA, large enough to accommodate a B757 aircraft, with a capacity of 295 passengers. The new enterprise will not only create jobs for Bahraini and expatriate aviation professionals, it is expected to generate foreign investment into the country through its operations.
HIATECH EASA is a world-class independent MRO company with over 400 staff servicing over 50 customers from their hangar facilities at Hahn Airport (HHN) and Erfurt Airport (ERF) in Germany. As an EASA Part-145/Part-147 organization, HAITEC holds the FAA approval, as well as approvals from Civil Aviation Organizations of Aruba, Azerbaijan, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Russia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), allowing the company to service a broad range of Boeing and Airbus, as well as Gulfstream aircraft.
