VIP Airliner Interiors Services Launched In The Middle
East
GAL Aviation Inc. of Quebec City and MENA Aerospace Enterprises
WLL of Bahrain will establish GAL MENA WLL, a joint venture based
in Bahrain which will provide comprehensive services for corporate
aircraft and VIP airliner interiors design, refurbishment and
installation. GAL MENA will set up fabrication and design
capabilities as well as carry out training in the particular trades
associated with this activity.
Ralph Eisenschmid, MENA Aerospace Enterprises group chief
executive officer said, “We are very excited to be involved
in the establishment of the region’s first business aircraft
interior refurbishment center. GAL Aviation brings a wealth of
experience to the venture which, when coupled with MENA’s
regional presence, will provide a new level of service and
expertise to the region’s aircraft owners and
operators.”
Marc St-Hilaire, GAL Aviation partner and vice-president of
business development, said: “The demand for these products
and services is very strong. Since GAL’s team has a proven
track record in working in these areas, we felt it was a natural
evolution to join forces with MENA Aerospace to provide the
operational platform and regional network from which to deliver
these services.
"This operation will focus on aircraft cabin refurbishment,
reconfiguration and warranty programs. This complements our
operation in Canada, where we design and produce new aircraft cabin
components for major business jet manufacturers.”
The services will be provisioned from purpose-built GAL MENA
facilities in Bahrain and at its hangar at the Bahrain
International Airport, and supported by GAL Aviation’s
production center in Canada. The companies are confident that GAL
MENA WLL will be operational by the second quarter of 2012.
