The signing ceremony, held at IDEX 2025, was attended by Jasem Al Marzooqi, CEO of AMMROC and John Davis, Head of Service Development for Marshall’s Aero Engineering Services business, along with other senior representatives from both parties.

The new strategic service agreement outlines an 18 month joint project under which Marshall will deploy engineering expertise to support AMMROC in attaining UAE Military Design Organisation Approval (MDOA). Marshall is now making preparations to dispatch an initial cadre of engineers to AMMROC’s state-of-the-art MRO facilities in Al Ain.

AMMROC and Marshall will jointly provide engineering, technical support and fleet readiness solutions for C-130 aircraft, strengthening operational efficiency and long-term performance. By delivering comprehensive MRO solutions aligned with global military standards and best practices, both companies aim to optimise fleet performance and ensure mission readiness for defence customers in the UAE and beyond.

Additionally, the collaboration will play a key role in enhancing local capability development by facilitating structured knowledge transfer and specialised training programs, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a global hub for defence aviation excellence. By leveraging Marshall’s deep expertise in aircraft sustainment and modifications and AMMROC’s facilities and unmatched regional presence, the partnership will reinforce the region’s aerospace capabilities, supporting long-term growth and self-sufficiency in defence aviation maintenance and support.

Jasem Al Marzooqi, CEO, AMMROC, said: "Signing this agreement reflects the strategic nature of our collaboration with Marshall and reaffirms AMMROC’s commitment to driving excellence in defence sector and defence aviation maintenance. By strengthening this partnership, we are reinforcing our position as a trusted service provider for defence forces while expanding the UAE’s leadership in advanced MRO solutions. Together, we will introduce new sustainment capabilities, optimise fleet readiness, and enhance operational efficiency for our customers."
