In a groundbreaking move to enhance its technological infrastructure and sustainability efforts, the Emirates Group has partnered with Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, to relocate its data center operations to the world’s largest solar-powered data facility at the Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.

This facility, certified by Guinness World Records™, operates entirely on clean energy generated by the solar park, which has a capacity of 3,000 megawatts annually. The relocation is expected to begin in mid-2026, with Moro Hub providing comprehensive services such as rack space, power, cooling, equipment supply, and other essential co-location services.

This strategic move is part of Emirates' broader strategy to reduce its carbon footprint and enhance operational efficiency.

This collaboration aligns with Dubai’s Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, reinforcing the city’s position as a global leader in sustainable innovation. HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, highlighted that this partnership demonstrates Dubai's commitment to digital transformation and sustainable aviation while driving economic growth through innovation.

Michael Doersam, Emirates Group’s Chief Financial & Group Services Officer, emphasized that the transition to Moro Hub will bolster operational resilience and scalability while significantly reducing the Group’s environmental footprint. The partnership will also enable Emirates to leverage advanced data analytics and AI technologies, enhancing its customer experience and operational efficiency.

The Emirates Group views this move as pivotal for its next phase of growth and expansion. It underscores its dedication to adopting green technologies and advancing its sustainability agenda. Moro Hub’s state-of-the-art facility spans over 16,031 square meters and represents a significant step toward integrating clean energy solutions into large-scale digital operations.

This partnership not only strengthens Dubai’s reputation as a hub for technological excellence but also positions the Emirates Group as a leader in environmentally conscious business practices. Furthermore, the use of solar power will help Emirates reduce its reliance on traditional energy sources, contributing to a more sustainable aviation industry.

The collaboration is also expected to foster innovation in data management and cloud services, supporting Emirates' ongoing digital transformation efforts.

Turkish Technic and IndiGo have significantly expanded their partnership through a major agreement signed at MRO Middle East 2025, further solidifying their collaboration in the aviation maintenance sector. This agreement focuses on redelivery checks for more than 10 Airbus A320neo aircraft from IndiGo's fleet, showcasing the Indian carrier's trust in Turkish Technic's expertise.

The redelivery checks will be conducted at Turkish Technic's state-of-the-art facilities located at Istanbul Ataturk and Sabiha Gokcen airports. These advanced maintenance centers are equipped with cutting-edge technology and staffed by highly skilled engineers, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient inspection process for IndiGo's aircraft.

The redelivery process typically involves several key steps, including assembling definitive aircraft records, creating a "redelivery book/binder" with up-to-date status sheets, verifying compliance files for Airworthiness Directives, modifications, repairs, and components, sharing draft maintenance check packs and work scopes with stakeholders, conducting final acceptance/test flights and engine high-powered assurance runs, and completing and auditing the final technical aircraft return data package.

This meticulous approach ensures that all aircraft meet the highest standards of safety and performance before being returned to service.

Beyond the redelivery checks, Turkish Technic and IndiGo are in advanced discussions regarding an additional agreement for the Landing Gear Overhaul operations of IndiGo's Airbus A320neo fleet. This potential expansion of their partnership would further enhance IndiGo's maintenance strategy by leveraging Turkish Technic's expertise in high-quality component repairs and overhauls. 

Such collaborations not only strengthen the operational efficiency of IndiGo but also underscore Turkish Technic's growing presence in the Indian aviation sector, as demonstrated by similar agreements with other major Indian carriers.

This strengthened partnership is expected to significantly improve IndiGo's operational efficiency and maintain the highest standards of aircraft performance and regulatory compliance. It also reflects Turkish Technic's growing influence in the global MRO market, with substantial growth in external sales and an expanding workforce to support its increasing customer base.

Turkish Technic experienced a 27% increase in external sales in the first half of 2024 and over 25% growth in 2023, leading to a workforce expansion of more than 10% to 10,500 staff in 2023. This collaboration between Turkish Technic and IndiGo not only strengthens their existing relationship but also contributes to the overall advancement of the Indian aviation industry by ensuring world-class maintenance standards for one of its largest carriers.

Singapore Airlines Group has taken a significant step towards enhancing its sustainability efforts by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aether Fuels, a climate technology firm focused on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

This agreement, announced on February 7, 2025, outlines the SIA Group's intention to procure neat SAF from Aether for an initial period of five years, with an option to extend for an additional five years once Aether's production plants in the United States and Southeast Asia become operational.

The SAF produced by Aether will be derived from waste carbon feedstock using its proprietary Aether Aurora™ technology, which is designed to lower production costs, increase efficiency, and yield higher amounts of SAF compared to traditional methods. This innovative approach aligns with Singapore Airlines' long-term decarbonization goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Lee Wen Fen, Chief Sustainability Officer of Singapore Airlines, emphasized that this partnership is a crucial step in accelerating the adoption of SAF in their flight operations, thereby laying the groundwork for more sustainable air travel.

Aether Fuels, which was established in 2022 and incubated by Xora, a deep tech venture firm backed by Temasek, is set to develop commercial-scale production projects that will produce Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA)-certified SAF.

These projects are expected to achieve a minimum greenhouse gas reduction of 75%, significantly contributing to the aviation industry's sustainability initiatives. Conor Madigan, CEO of Aether Fuels, expressed pride in collaborating with Singapore Airlines, noting that the partnership will enhance their understanding of customer priorities and the SAF market, particularly in Southeast Asia.

This collaboration not only reflects Singapore Airlines' commitment to sustainability but also highlights the supportive environment in Singapore for deep tech innovation, which empowers companies like Aether to tackle global challenges through transformative solutions.

The neat SAF produced will be blended with conventional jet fuel before being supplied to selected airports served by Singapore Airlines and its low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, marking a pivotal move towards greener aviation practices.
