Monday 24th October 2011 Today Mr Bandar Al Mashhadi, President & CEO of AACC, launched the Alfajr project. In his presentation to all AACC employees, Mr Mashhadi stated that AlFajr marked the beginning of a new area in the proud history of the company. AlFajr, he said, is the dawning of a new future in which we are investing in new facilities on the KAIA Jeddah airport. The facilities will consist of a 100,000 m² MRO campus capable of expanding our business into commercial markets, with a particular emphasis on military and commercial landing gears. Part of the Alfajr project will be a Business Excellence campaign. Mr Mashhadi stressed that our new facilities and Lean culture would enable AACC to develop into a world class MRO component service provider to the Middle East and North African region. It is envisaged that the new AACC campus will be fully operational in the first quarter of 2013.

New Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul Campus in Jeddah, KSA:
As part of its growth strategy, AACC has identified significant opportunities to support the creation of a new Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) campus in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia KSA. The new campus is targeted to be an essential element in the strategic development of KSA Aerospace & Defense Industry. It will focus on three key business lines, namely Civil and Military Landing Gear, Turbines and Aircraft Components and Systems.These opportunities grow from a strong in-kingdom business foundation and give AACC confidence to develop its business over the next 10 years and beyond. The proposed new campus is intended to capitalize on the current economic growth in the region whereby the strategic importance of its petrochemical industry resource has resulted in a large and growing aircraft market that is not supported by an indigenous local maintenance, repair and overhaul infrastructure.
