Dubai: Emirates has signed an agreement with GE Aerospace to build deeper engine repair capabilities in Dubai, strengthening the airline’s ability to maintain key engines that power its Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 fleets.

The agreement covers technical and training consultancy for piece part component repair capabilities for GE90 and GP 7200 engines. These engines power Emirates’ Boeing 777 aircraft and part of its Airbus A380 fleet.

The deal supports the expansion of the Emirates Engine Maintenance Centre, a $300 million investment aimed at scaling up infrastructure and in-house capabilities for engine maintenance, repair and overhaul.
