Hellenic Aerospace Industry (EAB) on Tuesday announced the signing of a cooperation memorandum with the company Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Center (Ammroc) in the United Arab Emirates, thus boosting its presence in the UAE.

 

Ammroc is the primary support outfit for the UAE air force and belongs to the aeronautics sector of the Abu Dhabi-based company Mubadala.

 

The agreement between the two companies concerns activities involving the factory maintenance of aircraft, engines and related systems as well as technical training on all aspects of aircraft maintenance.

 

Both the Greek and UAE air forces are equipped with similar aircraft, such as the F16, M-2000 and C-130, and helicopters. (AMNA)
