FAS opens Embraer Service Centre at Al Bateen

Falcon Aviation Services were first appointed as an Embraer Authorised Executive Service Centre in 2009, providing line maintenance support for the Legacy 600 and the first Service Centre in the Middle East to support the Linage 1000 in 2009.

Jason Martin, Service Centre director & Customer Support, said: “Over the last three years we have steadily increased our Base Maintenance capabilities from a P1 & L1 (six month Inspection) up to and including an L8 & P8 (48 month Inspection), whilst providing a 24/7 AOG hotline to support our customers and Embraer. This has only been possible due to the commitment of HH Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the continued support of our partnership with Embraer."

Falcon’s Service Centre features workshops, logistics facilities, a 55,000 square foot air-conditioned hangar and a 25,000 square foot undercover wash bay, which supports aircraft washing and detailing. The first floor consists of a 3,000 square foot environmentally controlled parts warehouse, CAMO office, Training facilities, Quality Compliance and Safety Department and management offices. In the final stages of completion is the addition of a dedicated customer lounge with internet, TV and office facilities to allow clients to work or relax, whilst their aircraft is in maintenance.

Falcon Aviation Services owns operates and maintains a fleet of aircraft and provides aircraft management services.
