His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai, Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE took a tour of the Emirates Engineering Centre and the Terminal 2 of the Dubai International Airport. During his visit to the engineering centre, he along with his entourage was seen reviewing the 40,000 square meter facility that features 12 fully air-conditioned hangers, forming the largest free-spanned structures in the Middle East. According to his website, he reviewed several aspects of the airline’s ongoing cabin refurbishment program.
In this, the interiors of the A380 have been entirely stripped and are being prepped for a cabin makeover to make a newly refurbished aircraft that would boast the latest premium economy product and cabin interiors. Moreover, he also visited the state-of-the-art cabin workshop and saw a demonstration of how the aircraft safety slides are deployed and tested. At this point, it should be noted that over two years, the programme will upgrade the cabin interiors of 120 aircraft. Not to mention, each aircraft takes about 21 days with over 1000 man hours per day. Did you know this is the largest known cable retrofit program in aviation to date?
