STS Aviation Services Secures GCAA CAR-145 C6 Equipment Rating at Dubai CommerCity Facility
Dubai, UAE (August 17, 2026) – STS Aviation Services has received approval from the General Civil Aviation Authority of the United Arab Emirates for a GCAA CAR-145 C6 Equipment Rating at its Dubai CommerCity facility. The approval has been issued under GCAA CAR-145 Approval Number UAE.145.0101.
The approval expands the company’s maintenance capability in Dubai and authorizes STS Aviation Services to perform approved component maintenance activities within the C6 Equipment category.
For STS Aviation Services, the approval represents another step in the continued buildout of its Middle East MRO operation. It gives the company added capability in a region where operators need responsive, locally available support backed by proven technical expertise.
Located near Dubai International Airport, the Dubai CommerCity facility places STS Aviation Services close to one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs. From this location, the company is positioned to support regional carriers, international operators and aviation partners across the UAE, the Gulf and the wider Middle East.
“Securing the GCAA CAR-145 C6 Equipment Rating at our Dubai CommerCity facility is an important step forward for our team and our customers,” said Paul Curry, Vice President and General Manager of STS Aviation Services Middle East. “This approval expands the work we can perform locally and allows us to deliver a broader range of component maintenance services from Dubai. It also reflects the continued investment STS Aviation Group is making in the Middle East and the confidence we have in this market.”
The rating adds depth to STS Aviation Services’ global MRO network while strengthening its ability to support aircraft operators in the region with reliable, disciplined and locally delivered component maintenance solutions.
