“We are really pleased to have received these approvals which enhance our overall capabilities in terms of offering Hawker support to the regional operators,” remarked Nick Weber, ExecuJet Middle East maintenance director.

'Our maintenance facility in Dubai has significantly expanded lately and this additional certification will further improve the services that we can provide to our clients,' he noted.
