Dubai South’s Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) announced that Avia Solutions Group (ASG), the Dublin-based aviation services company and the world’s largest ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) provider, will set up its new regional headquarters within the aerospace hub. The move marks a significant step in ASG’s global expansion strategy and underscores Dubai’s growing role as a center for aviation innovation and services.

The new facility, scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027, will accommodate up to 800 professionals and serve as a regional and global collaboration hub for the company. The site will feature modern offices, meeting facilities, and shared services supporting ASG’s operations in ACMI leasing, cargo charters, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and aviation insurance.

In addition, the complex will include an Agentic AI innovation hub - a first-of-its-kind initiative by ASG aimed at attracting international talent and advancing digital transformation in aviation.

H.E. Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, said the decision reinforces Dubai’s position as a destination for multinational corporations seeking to expand in the Middle East. “Welcoming Avia Solutions Group to Dubai South strengthens the emirate’s standing as a global aviation capital, in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,” he said.

Gediminas Ziemelis, Founder and Chairman of Avia Solutions Group, described MBRAH as “one of the most advanced and integrated aviation ecosystems in the world,” adding that the new headquarters will help the company meet regional demand, attract skilled professionals, and enhance global efficiency.

Avia Solutions Group employs more than 14,000 professionals and operates a fleet of 209 aircraft across six continents. Its portfolio spans aircraft leasing, maintenance, ground handling, pilot training, charter operations, and aviation media and events.

Located within Dubai South, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub provides a dedicated ecosystem for aerospace and aviation businesses, including airlines, MROs, and private aviation companies. The hub aims to advance Dubai’s long-term goal of becoming a leading global aviation hub.
