Integrated and Complementary Military MRO Services
Global Aerospace Logistics – Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul Center (GAL–AMMROC) and Al Yah Satellite Communications Company (Yahsat) have agreed to expand airborne services for the UAE and regional markets.
The agreement will enable the companies to leverage synergies and offer comprehensive engineering and support services for customers in the UAE – creating an end-to-end service provider. It marks a significant step forward in localising various engineering services for airborne platform operations, providing a comprehensive range of aviation services to regional government customers. By leveraging their joint capabilities, the companies will provide integrated solutions and services more effectively, while also building robust capabilities in the UAE for servicing airborne platforms. The agreement will further allow GAL-AMMROC to build on Yahsat’s ICT systems integration expertise around beyond line of sight (BLoS) and other satellite-enabled applications. The companies will expand their offerings from ICT system acquisitions, design, modification and installation to follow on support services. These synergies will enable a larger market share and will provide the customer financial and operational optimization.
Mahmood Al Hameli, GAL-AMMROC, CEO, commented that the agreement “will enhance our capabilities for airborne platforms with integrating ICT systems support to better serve existing and new customers in the UAE and beyond. This agreement is aligned with our commitment to explore new opportunities and strengthen our global position as an integrated aviation services company, while supporting the UAE government’s vision to build world-class industries.”
Eisa Al Shamsi, General Manager at Yahsat Government Solutions, added “This agreement marks a step forward in our efforts to contribute to providing comprehensive end-to-end aviation services to our government customers in the UAE and beyond, while strengthening our portfolio within the integrated ICT managed solutions space. By leveraging operational synergies, expertise and knowledge – across secure communications solutions and engineering – we can effectively address the evolving needs of our clients while building local capabilities to build a robust national platform for the aviation industry. This partnership reinforces our commitment to supporting the growth of the UAE capabilities to better serve our customers.”
