'This is a proud moment,' said Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investment 'Maintaining our own aircraft in-house gives us full confidence in the process and shows we're ready to handle complex maintenance programs moving forward.'

Aviation Provider Falcon Plans USD 100M Upgrade at Al Maktoum Airport
Al Maktoum International Airport, also known as Dubai World Central, is projected to become the world's busiest airport by 2030. Mar 05, 2025 Falcon, an aviation service provider based in the UAE, is committing USD 100 million to expand its operations at Al Maktoum International Airport, focusing on upgrading its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility while establishing a new private jet terminal. The investment will unfold over the next five years as the company strengthens its presence at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub in Dubai. Spanning 13,705 sqm, Falcon's MRO facility is equipped to handle a wide range of aircraft, including the Airbus A380. It operates under CAR 145 certification from the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority, which it secured in 2024, allowing it to provide maintenance services for aircraft such as Bombardier Challenger and Embraer models. Falcon currently employs over 80 professionals at its MRO facility, which forms part of its larger aviation portfolio. The company operates four brands, offering private jet charters, luxury terminals, technical services and flight support. The planned private jet terminal is expected to enhance Falcon's ability to serve high-net-worth travelers and business clients. Al Maktoum International Airport, also known as Dubai World Central, is projected to become the world's busiest airport by 2030, with a capacity of up to 260 million passengers annually. The airport was first opened for cargo operations in 2010, later launching passenger services in 2013 as part of Dubai's long-term strategy to shift major air traffic away from Dubai International Airport.
