The company’s Victor Sherin said the new facility will cater especially to airfreight operators. “The Sharjah Airport Free Zone is well known as a vast cargo center for the whole Middle East region, and this investment will allow flight operators to effectively solve any maintenance-related issues that arise during the operations, from line maintenance to heavy checks,” he said in a statement.
According to a press release, the hangar will be situated in the future heart of Volga-Dnepr’s MRO facility and will be able to accommodate up to six narrow-body aircraft or two Boeing 747s. The facility, which will service both Western and Russian craft, will feature advanced ventilation systems and a certified fire protection system. The MRO base will also be equipped with space for repair workshops, storage facilities and offices.
