The new facility for production of cabin interiors, equipment as well as related maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services is to open shortly after today's signing ceremony at ADAC head office. HE Khalifa Al Mazrouei, chairman and managing director signed for ADAC while CEO Zeydan Oncu signed for GAS. GAS Board of directors is chaired by HH Sheikh Saeed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan.

GAS will also use the facility for production of a wide range of cabin equipment and parts, including design and production of galley, crew rest compartments, stairs house, bars, seat parts, military aircraft interiors, composite parts, and material supplies.

ADAC chairman and managing director, HE Khalifa Al Mazrouei, said "We are delighted to put such a specialized service at the disposal of airlines in the region. Following last week's first Middle East Aviation Outlook summit, in Abu Dhabi, we celebrate another first today in the signing of this agreement. GAS will become the first specialist supplier in this specific field at the airport and their presence here will enable us to continue to grow and enhance the range of world class support services on offer in Abu Dhabi and the Middle East region."

GAS CEO Zeydan Oncu said the facility was the first step in developing fully-integrated cabin equipment centre as one stop shop for cabin interiors and equipment, which will become synonymous with GAS.

"Abu Dhabi International Airport is an ideal location for establishing a service hub catering to this segment of the market. The airport's unique location at the centre of international routes will enable us to provide a timely, world-class service to a growing number of airlines."
