Eve Air Mobility, Saudia Technic Sign MOA to Delve into MRO Activities and eVTOL Reassembly in Saudi Arabia

Elec­tric Air Taxi com­pa­ny, Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, and Saudia Tech­nic, a lead­ing Mid­dle East Main­te­nance, Repair and Over­haul (MRO) ser­vice provider, announced this week dur­ing the Future Avi­a­tion Forum in Riyadh, Sau­di Ara­bia, the sign­ing of a Mem­o­ran­dum of Agree­ment (MOA), to delve into the poten­tial demand of MRO activ­i­ties for eVTOL air­craft in the region, reports a press release. 

The agree­ment also includes MRO train­ing and the eval­u­a­tion of the infra­struc­ture require­ments and process­es for the poten­tial reassem­bly of Eve’s air­craft in Sau­di Ara­bia.   

Johann Bor­dais, CEO of Eve, com­ment­ed, “This MOA allows us to exam­ine not only MRO activ­i­ties, which are essen­tial to ensure safe­ty, reli­a­bil­i­ty, and prof­itabil­i­ty, but also address the logis­ti­cal chal­lenges we have to deliv­er our eVTOL to our cus­tomers in the region.” He added, “This col­lab­o­ra­tion will sup­port the intro­duc­tion and scal­a­bil­i­ty of eVTOL oper­a­tions in the Mid­dle East.” 

Fahd Cyn­ndy, CEO of Saudia Tech­nic, remarked, “This MOA is in per­fect har­mo­ny with Sau­di Vision 2030, as it aims to estab­lish Saudia Tech­nic and Eve as lead­ers in the air mobil­i­ty sec­tor in Sau­di Ara­bia and the broad­er Mid­dle East.”

Dur­ing the sign­ing cer­e­mo­ny, Ramy Nas­ral­la, Saudia Tech­nic’s Head of Com­mer­cial, high­light­ed the trans­for­ma­tive impact of their MRO++ approach as it mod­ernises main­te­nance prac­tices with a com­pre­hen­sive solu­tion cov­er­ing all aspects of air­craft care. 

The release explains, “Through ini­tia­tives like ST Nova™, Saudia Tech­nic boosts its ser­vice capa­bil­i­ties and paves the way for future inno­va­tions. Nas­ral­la empha­sised the dou­ble ‘+’ in MRO++, sym­bol­is­ing their com­mit­ment to glob­al inte­gra­tion and Saudia Tech­nic’s region­al and glob­al expan­sion aspi­ra­tions, posi­tion­ing itself as a major play­er in the inter­na­tion­al MRO are­na.”

Saudia Technic’s HQ is based at King Abdu­laz­iz Inter­na­tion­al Air­port in Jed­dah. The com­pa­ny is known as the pre­mier MRO ser­vice provider in the Mid­dle East.
