Abu Dhabi: Rolls-Royce and Mubadala Development Company (Mubadala), the business development and investment company located in Abu Dhabi, announced the launch of a new joint venture company to serve the rapidly expanding Middle East aviation services market, on Tuesday.

The new joint venture will offer On-Wing Care through Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT), which is the 12th largest maintenance, repair and overhaul company in the world.

Services will include provision for a wide range of specialist line maintenance support services from boroscoping to engine changes for Rolls-Royce Trent family operators in the region.

In addition, it will also launch a new service to provide asset management services for engine system accessories.

The new company joins a worldwide network of centres, which can offer specialised support services at the closest point of operation for Rolls-Royce customers.

Homaid Al Shemmari, Director of Mubadala Aerospace, said: “Our partnerships with world-class companies like Rolls-Royce are solidifying the creation of Abu Dhabi's aerospace hub. Specifically, this joint venture will attract knowledge intensive industries to Abu Dhabi.''

The problem is that everyone is anxious about certain sudden changes, including you. But while you're biding your time until you learn more, others are taking action, and it isn't always well thought out. The best strategy? For now – distract them.
