The first such company to be located in the Middle East, Jadco will provide regional customers the convenience, quality, luxury and prestige of a local firm to meet their demanding and specialized needs within a relatively short timeframe.

Jadco intends to build a large, state-of-the-art aircraft conversion centre in Oman within the next eighteen months that will be capable of handling B-737, MD-80, and B-757 series aircraft, as well as other large corporate, and commercial jet aircraft. Jadco’s facilities will be the first such aircraft conversion facilities to be located in the Middle East region. When operational, Jadco will offer high-tech aviation employment to over 175 Oman citizens.

“The opportunity to hire local Omani citizens, to train and license them for these high-tech aerospace jobs is what brought us to Oman” said Thomas G. Finck, Chief Executive Officer of Jadco.
