Fokker Services Group has entered into a comprehensive nose-to-tail power-by-the-hour (PBH) component support agreement with Falcon Aviation Services for its DHC-8 Q300 fleet. The agreement, signed at the MRO Middle East Dubai, covers two aircraft operating from Falcon’s Abu Dhabi base.
Under this agreement, Fokker Services Group will deliver guaranteed component availability and repair support through its Abacus component support program. The scope spans all major aircraft systems, including rotables, propellers, and braking systems, provided under a flight-hour-based model. This approach enables predictable maintenance costs while ensuring continuous operational readiness.
For Falcon Aviation Services, the partnership represents a strategic step toward enhancing dispatch reliability and operational efficiency across its fixed-wing fleet. A tailored preventive maintenance program has been jointly developed, designed specifically to align with Falcon’s operational environment and mission requirements. This proactive maintenance strategy is aimed at reducing unscheduled maintenance events, minimizing disruptions, and maximizing aircraft availability.
Operating in the demanding climatic and operational conditions of the Middle East, Falcon Aviation Services requires robust and responsive maintenance support. By collaborating with an established global provider like Fokker Services Group, the company strengthens its engineering capabilities while maintaining high safety and performance standards.
