This expansion is set to support extensive cabin completion, modification, and retrofit operations, answering the rising demand for premium aircraft interior solutions while emphasizing UUDS AERO’s dedicated presence in Dubai.

Additionally, MBRAH will unveil a Cabin Excellence Center spanning 40,000 square metres within its Airline Manufacturing and Supply Chain Zone. This innovative facility will be the first of its kind in the region, focusing on high-end cabin engineering, manufacturing, and new technologies. It aims to position Dubai as a pivotal hub for aircraft cabin design and production.

He emphasized that the Cabin Excellence Center is a milestone, boosting industrial capabilities while supporting engineering and cabin innovation sectors across the emirate. Saif reiterated MBRAH’s commitment to provide a world-class platform for global aerospace enterprises to thrive.

Gilles Negre, Founder and Chairman of UUDS AERO, noted that this expansion will greatly improve operational capabilities. He pointed out that the new plots and planned center will enable UUDS AERO to deliver cabin completion, modification, and eco-efficient solutions more effectively. Negre commended Dubai South for its exceptional infrastructure and vision, making it an ideal location for aerospace advancements.
