GAL-AMMROC Partners with Yahsat to Expand Airborne Services in the UAE

GAL-AMMROC, a leading provider of integrated aviation services has announced a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with Al Yah Satellite Communications Company PJSC, the UAE’s flagship satellite solutions provider to expand airborne services for the UAE and regional market.

The MoU was formalized at a signing ceremony at IDEX 2023, the premier defence exhibition and conference in the Middle East, by Mahmood Al Hameli, GAL-AMMROC Chief Executive Officer and Eisa Al Shamsi, General Manager at Yahsat Government Solutions (“YGS”). The signing ceremony was witnessed by Ali Al Hashemi, Chief Executive Officer at Yahsat Group and Chairman of GAL.  

The agreement will enable GAL-AMMROC and Yahsat to leverage synergies across their respective product and service portfolios to offer comprehensive engineering and support services for customers in the UAE – creating an end-to-end service provider for the aviation systems industry. The agreement marks a significant step forward in localizing various engineering services for airborne platform operations, providing a comprehensive range of aviation services to GAL-AMMROC and Yahsat’s government customers in the UAE and MENA region.

By leveraging their joint capabilities, GAL-AMMROC and Yahsat will provide integrated solutions and services more effectively, while also building robust capabilities in the UAE for servicing airborne platforms. The agreement will further allow GAL-AMMROC to build on Yahsat’s ICT systems integration expertise across airborne platforms around beyond line of sight (BLoS) and other satellite enabled applications.  

Together GAL-AMMROC and Yahsat will be able to address untapped requirements and serve their customers under one umbrella. The companies will expand their offerings from ICT system acquisitions, design, modification and installation to follow on support services. These synergies will enable a larger market share and will provide the customer financial and operational optimization. 

This is a strategic partnership agreement that we’re very pleased to be signing with Yahsat, which will enhance our capabilities for airborne platforms with integrating ICT systems support to better serve existing and new customers in the UAE and beyond. This agreement is aligned with our commitment to explore new opportunities and strengthen our global position as an integrated aviation services company, while supporting the UAE Government’s vision to build world-class industries.
