Dubai, UAE – February 11, 2025 – STS Aviation Services, in partnership with Diehl Aviation, is pleased to announce the expansion of its operations in Dubai with the official opening of a new state-of-the-art facility in the Dubai Airport Freezone. This 1,100-square-meter site is strategically located in the heart of the airport’s logistics hub, further strengthening both companies’ regional presence and operational capabilities.
The newly expanded facility will serve as a shared space for both STS Aviation Services and Diehl Aviation. Diehl will oversee the final assembly and certification of cabin components under EASA Part 21G, while STS Aviation Services’ skilled staff will perform the final assembly and kitting of the parts, with Diehl Aviation providing oversight and certification. This collaboration supports an even more dynamic approach to aircraft maintenance and cabin component services in the region.
This strategic collaboration enhances both companies’ ability to meet the growing demand for high-quality products, bringing specialized expertise to local customers. The shared facility features dedicated spaces, including production lines, rework workstations, spare parts warehousing, and office space, ensuring seamless operations between the two teams.
The initial focus of this expansion will be on completing components for the A380 aircraft family, specifically lavatories and sidewall panels. However, the site is equipped to extend its capabilities to other aircraft families based on customer demand. With this expansion, Diehl Aviation and STS Aviation Services are positioning themselves to deliver faster, more efficient services while continuing to exceed customer expectations.
As part of their ongoing commitment to excellence, both companies are also exploring the possibility of expanding their capabilities. Diehl Aviation already holds EASA Part 21G certification for the assembly of cabin components, while STS Aviation Services is progressing toward GCAA CAR 145 certification, which will allow for the on-site repair and certification of aircraft components in Dubai.
“The allocation of production capacity together with our local partner STS Aviation Services marks a significant milestone in our strategic expansion,” said Seraj Mazidi, Head of Diehl Aviation Middle East. “By combining Diehl’s expertise in cabin components with STS’s maintenance capabilities, we are setting new standards for service delivery and support in the Middle East.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Diehl Aviation to expand our footprint in Dubai,” said Rod Willits, VP and GM of STS Aviation Services Middle East. “This collaboration allows us to provide unmatched aviation solutions and reinforces our commitment to excellence in the region.”
Diehl Aviation has maintained a presence in the Dubai Airport Freezone since 2020, where the company’s representative office has successfully managed customer services and sales for the region. The partnership between STS Aviation Services and Diehl Aviation combines the strengths of both companies, providing a comprehensive range of aviation solutions and raising the bar for quality service in the Middle East.
