Dubai-based DC Aviation Al-Futtaim (DCAF) has expanded its fleet under management with the addition of a Challenger 350, operated on behalf of a private owner.

The management contract will see DCAF provide full flight operational aircraft management services, CAMO services, hangar parking and FBO handling at its facility at Al Maktoum International airport, in addition to providing maintenance services for the aircraft.

Managing director Holger Ostheimer says: “We welcome the addition of the Challenger 350 to our managed fleet. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we have been successful in adding a second aircraft to our management fleet in Q4 of last year. We are extremely pleased with the continued interest from aircraft owners and operators seeking our expertise to manage their assets both commercially as well as under private operation. This is a strong testament of our expertise, capability and the quality of our service.”
