Engine Maintenance Centre

Emirates Airlines have embarked on the installation of a state-of-the-art maintenance facility, the Emirates Engine Maintenance Centre, with the aim of providing Emirates fleet the best in aircraft engine maintenance and repair.   

This facility, also called EEMC for short, will be located at Al Warsan in Dubai and will have the capacity to maintain, overhaul and repair GE 90, GP 7200. It aims at being the leading aircraft engine maintenance centre in the MENA region.

With an investment of US$ 120 million and constructed on a 210,000 square feet of land, it is fully operational since July 2014 with a capacity to complete Full Shop Visits of 250 to 300 engines.

It will accommodate a total of average in-processes of 30 engines with an annual capacity of 250 - 300 turbo-fan engines. It will also have an integrated state-of-the-art line-hoisting system with the capacity to handle module change and module overhaul work. 

The EEMC is designed to provide a 24/7 service 365 days a year and will be backed by a qualified and highly competent workforce. The engineering staff will have the capacity to strip, inspect and build in the same area. The capacity of the skilled staff will be further enhanced by an information and communication technology system that supports quality control in the provision of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services. 

Propulsion Planning and Logistics (PP&L)

This team manages the Engine Maintenance Centre, making sure we are stocked with spares and that we’re working efficiently and cost-effectively across all areas. This includes engines, auxiliary power units, nacelle components and power plant parts, in line with the expansion plan for the Emirates fleet.

To achieve this, the PP&L team evaluates and performs feasibility studies, looking at ways we can develop and expand our in-house engine shop.
