Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) has signed
agreements with two United Kingdom based companies Beagle
Aerospace and Generation Metals International.
The agreement with ADAC and Beagle Aerospace
will lead to local spares warehousing at Al Ain, providing
off-the-shelf availability for aircraft components such as flaps,
spoilers, engine cowls and thrust reversers, meaning faster
response times for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations.
The
company has a long and well established history within the
aerospace industry and its future plans include the commissioning
of a purpose built specialist composite repair facility within the
Cluster at Al Ain.
HE Khalifa Mohamed Al Mazrouei,
Chairman of ADAC, commenting on the two agreements,
said, “The UK aerospace industry is renowned throughout the
world for the exceptional quality of its aviation products and
services. ADAC is delighted to be partnering Beagle Aerospace and
Generation Metals, both leaders within their respective fields,
and is confident that their introduction into the new aerospace
cluster in Al Ain will help this emerging centre to prosper.”
On behalf of Beagle Aerospace, Rob Ludford,
CEO, said, “This exciting opportunity enables Beagle to work
closely with our valued partners, ADAC, in accelerating our well
developed plans to offer a much needed specialist structural
support capability in the region. We see this as an expansion of
our UK business and an opportunity for our business to grow into
the Middle East, Asia and further afield.”
The
Binding Agreement between ADAC and Generation Metals International
aims to utilise the company’s expertise in supply chain management
as well as providing an extensive range of aerospace metallics to
businesses operating in the wider region.
Kevin
Bolderston, Managing Director of Generation Metals, said, “As an
established global supplier of aerospace products and services our
strategy is one of further expansion overseas – we see Al Ain as a
key accelerator in our growth on the global stage. We see
ourselves meeting the needs of the Cluster businesses as well as
facilitating our progression across the Middle East, Asia and
Africa.”
