Joramco Names New CEO Amid Expansion with Massive Hangar 7 Launch

Joramco, the well-known aircraft MRO provider based at Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport, is ringing in a fresh chapter—and not just with a new hangar. As part of its efforts to stay ahead in a rapidly growing aviation sector, the company is handing the reins to Adam Voss, who will step up as Chief Executive Officer from 14 September 2025. For anyone in the regional aviation or startup circles, this sort of leadership switch is more than a bit of a big deal.

Voss isn’t a newcomer to Joramco; he’s served as COO before taking the helm at TIM Aerospace in Dubai. Now, he’s coming ‘home’ just as Joramco opens its much-touted Hangar 7, increasing its maintenance capacity to a whopping 22 lines—the sort of number that would have made jaws drop a decade ago. “I am honoured to be taking on this new role at a time when Joramco has just added Hangar 7 which brings the MRO capacity up to 22 parallel lines, my focus will be on driving operational excellence,” Voss reportedly stated. That said, it’s never just about bricks and mortar in this sector. Keeping teams nimble and customers chuffed to bits is really where the challenge lies, if you ask me.

The baton-passing doesn’t stop there. Fraser Currie, who’s been CEO up to now, is shifting to a wider brief as Chief Strategy & Commercial Officer at DAE Engineering, the parent engineering arm of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise. Currie voiced his own excitement around working more closely with Jeff Wilkinson, CEO for DAE Engineering, and said it was time to build on what has already been achieved.

Wilkinson himself was quick to highlight the reason for the shake-up—a pretty relentless trajectory of growth, with even higher climbs expected ahead. He gave a tip of the hat to Currie for his “unwavering commitment and support,” and added, “With our strengthened leadership team, we are ready to take DAE Engineering and Joramco to new heights under our ‘Committed to Excellence’ theme.” It’s classic industry speak, but with Joramco’s credentials, you wouldn’t call it empty.

Looking at the big picture, Joramco isn’t exactly fresh out of the gate. Sixty years at the coal face has earned it a strong reputation with airlines from the Middle East and Europe through to South Asia and Africa. Take a wander near their six hangars—spread across the Queen Alia airport free zone—and you get a sense of the scale. It must be absolute organised chaos whenever a rush comes in, and I reckon not everyone would have the stomach for the pressure.

The company’s certifications mean business: with approvals from EASA, the FAA, and Jordan’s Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission, the team has their paperwork spot on (well… most of the time, anyway). Covering the likes of Airbus, Boeing, and Embraer jets means there’s no resting on their laurels. As an organisation guided by Arageek’s passion for propelling MENA startups, it’s inspiring to see such steady evolution—a reminder that a “last-minute change of plan” isn’t always a bad thing, especially if it involves experienced heads at the wheel.

Of course, if you fancy finding out a bit more, the usual socials and the Joramco website will give you the inside scoop. But as it stands, with Joramco welcoming Adam Voss and expanding faster than you can say “scheduled maintenance,” it’s safe to say they’re buckling up for a busy journey ahead—an example for ambitious teams across the region, even if the industry is, at times, a bit of a faff.
