A New Mega-Facility at Dubai South
Emirates is building a new engineering facility at Dubai South that will span 1.1 million square metres. This makes it one of the largest buildings in the world by volume and the largest steel structure in the GCC.
The complex will be the world’s only hangar facility able to service 28 wide-body aircraft at the same time, supported by two painting hangars. Key features of the site include:
- The largest free-span hangar in the world at a width of 285 metres
- The largest dedicated landing gear workshop in the world
- 77,000 square metres of dedicated workshop space for repairs and maintenance
- 380,000 square metres of storage and logistics capacity
- Two paint hangars for wide-body aircraft, with extended capacity to handle narrow-body aircraft
Construction is expected to finish by the middle of 2030. The hangar complex will initially service aircraft requiring heavy maintenance and handle spillover projects from the Emirates Engineering Centre at Dubai International Airport (DXB).
Four Decades in India
Emirates has spent 40 years building its presence in India through steady investment, partnership, and growth. The airline launched flights from Dubai to Delhi and Mumbai in October 1985, which formed the base of its initial route network.
Since then, Emirates has expanded to serve nine destinations across the country. These include Ahmedabad (AMD), Bengaluru (BLR), Chennai (MAA), Delhi, Hyderabad (HYD), Kochi (COK), Kolkata (CCU), Mumbai, and Thiruvananthapuram (TRV).
