Joramco will be the first MRO supplier in the Middle East supporting
future Boeing freighter conversions of both domestic and foreign aircraft.
Located in Amman, Jordan, Joramco is geographically situated to support future
737-800BCF customers operating across the Middle East, Europe, North Africa,
and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
Joramco will be the first MRO supplier in the Middle East to support future Boeing freighter conversions of both domestic and foreign aircraft
“We’re very excited to grow our
relationship with Boeing. The new 737-800BCF capability we’re bringing to our
MRO is another major milestone for Joramco, and we are delighted Boeing has
selected Joramco as a future site for the 737-800BCF, said Fraser Currie,
Joramco CEO. “Our geographic location in Amman, our deep MRO experience, and
the opportunity to work together with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise on their
customers’ requirements makes this a very exciting opportunity.”
Joramco is a subsidiary of
Dubai Aerospace Enterprise, which also has
a leasing division with a fleet of around 550 aircraft leased to approximately
120 airlines in more than 60 countries.
Firoz Tarapore, CEO of DAE, added, “Today’s announcement reaffirms our
long-term commitment to our DAE Engineering division. Since acquiring Joramco
in 2016, revenues have more than doubled, and we continue to expand our
presence at our Amman, Jordan based facility, which is expected to reach 22
maintenance lines by the end of 2024. This latest agreement underpins our
commitment, and we look forward to continuing to deepen our relationship with
Boeing as well as developing new product offerings for Joramco’s global
customer base.”
Joramco is a sister company of DAE Capital, a top 10 aircraft lessor globally with a fleet of approximately 550 owned, managed, committed, and mandated-to-manage aircraft
“We continue to look for opportunities to bring freighter conversion
capacity closer to our customers” said Mike Doellefeld, Boeing Commercial
Programs Vice President of Engineering Services, Converted Freighters and
Sub-Components. “Connecting with Joramco reflects the potential of a growing
region combined with an MRO capable of producing the BCF with the quality our
customers expect.”
The
global freighter fleet is expected to grow by 65% to more than 3,700 in 2042,
according to Boeing’s Commercial Market Outlook. This growth will require more
than 2,800 production and converted freighter deliveries over the next two
decades, including around 1,300 standard-body freighter conversions, such as
the 737-800BCF.
