Abu Dhabi Aviation Group Posts Strong H1 2026 Results, Driven by Surging MRO Revenues

Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) Group delivered a strong financial performance in the first half of 2026, fueled by continuous growth in its Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) business.

Revenues surged by approximately 28.2% year-over-year to reach AED 4.66 billion, while net profit recorded AED 420.6 million, marking a 6.6% increase compared to the same period last year. These gains were achieved despite the persistent volatility experienced across regional markets during the first six months of the year.

The financial results demonstrated the Group's success in leveraging its diversified portfolio. Robust maintenance activities linked to the defense sector and aerial logistics effectively offset a decline in certain civil activities and helicopter operations, enabling the Group to maintain its growth momentum and solidify its financial position.

MRO Segment Captures the Lion's Share of Revenues

The Group's total revenues during the first half stood at AED 4.662 billion, up from AED 3.636 billion in the corresponding period of 2025. This growth was primarily driven by the stellar performance of the MRO platform, which saw its revenues jump by 30.6%, ultimately accounting for a massive 89.6% of the Group's total revenues.

This robust performance was the result of sustained demand for aviation fleet support services provided by GAL. Furthermore, it was bolstered by a significant expansion in AMMROC's operations, as several contractual programs transitioned into the full execution phase, thereby enhancing the Group's overall operational activity.

On the other hand, revenues in the general aviation sector rose by 7.6% to AED 509.9 million. This increase was propelled by record growth in air cargo operations at Maximus Air, amid ongoing strong demand for air transport and freight services.
