Air Arabia Engineering

Air Arabia Engineering is the maintenance, repair, and overhaul division of the Air Arabia Group, based in the United Arab Emirates. It functions as a primary provider of technical support within the low-cost carrier segment, ensuring the continuous airworthiness of short-to-medium haul narrowbody fleets. The organisation operates from its main hub at Sharjah International Airport, where it maintains extensive hangar facilities and workshops dedicated to line and base maintenance activities. The facility is primarily geared towards supporting the Air Arabia fleet, which is centred on the Airbus A320 family, including the A320neo and A321neo variants. Beyond its parent group, the organisation provides third-party technical services to international operators and leasing companies. Its operational scope includes structural repairs, engine changes, and cabin refurbishments, holding approvals from the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority and other international regulatory bodies. Prospective partners or buyers should verify the specific scope of the organisation's EASA or FAA Part 145 certifications relevant to their specific airframe and engine combinations. It is also necessary to confirm current hangar capacity and slot availability, as the facility prioritises the operational schedule of its parent airline. Technical audits should focus on the organisation’s supply chain resilience and its specific experience with the CFM LEAP-1A and CFM56 engine series.
