DTX Group Debuts as Global Force, Powered by Strategic Vision and Independence Under Hussein Lookmanjee's Leadership

Backed by years of preparation and a clear global strategy, DTX Group launches to capitalize on emerging market opportunities and reshape the international aviation maintenance landscape.

DUBAI, UAE,June 2, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- DTX Group proudly announces its official launch, marking a strategic evolution in the global aerospace sector. This milestone coincides withHussein Lookmanjee'sfull divestment from Drayton Aerospace, with his remaining equity acquired by Lion Capital. This move enables Lookmanjee to fully commit his efforts and resources to the international growth and leadership of DTX Group.

In 2019, Drayton Aerospace defined two parallel strategic paths: a regional focused business led by local management, and an international division under the leadership ofHussein Lookmanjee. Recognizing Lookmanjee's strengths in launching greenfield operations, the board tasked him with leading international operations, while localizing leadership of its China operations by appointing Mr. Hong Qi Ye as the China President, in 2020 and later in 2021, Mr.Steven Youngas CEO of Drayton Aerospace.

Importantly, while Lion Capital has assumed the controlling interest of Drayton Aerospace's China-based operations; along with eight other Chinese partners, all non-China Draytonentities—including theBrazil-based MRO companies and global support units—are now part of the DTX Group and remain under the sole ownership ofHussein Lookmanjee. This structural realignment reflects the differing strategic priorities between the China-focused shareholders and the internationally driven DTX team.

Over the last six years, Lookmanjee and his senior team have built a strong global platform—opening new maintenance facilities, launching a parts distribution business, and expanding into key markets such asSouth Americaand theMiddle East. Under his leadership Drayton Aerospace has become a leading independent player in the civil, freight aviation MRO markets.

"Now is the right time for this transition,"saidHussein Lookmanjee."DTX Group has evolved into a globally competitive business that merits dedicated focus. This move enables us to pursue our original international vision with greater clarity and autonomy. We plan to fully invest the proceeds from the Drayton divestment into strategic growth opportunities, including three exciting acquisitions slated for completion before year's end."

Although DTX Group's international strategy experienced temporary delays during the COVID-19 pandemic, momentum has since resumed. Formally established inSeptember 2024, DTX Group is headquartered in theMiddle East, with its parts trading business operating inthe United Statesandtwo MROfacilities located inBrazil. The Group is on track to launch a new MRO facility in theMiddle Eastby Q3 2025. with additional expansion targeted acrossAfricaandEurope.

DTX Group will now operate independently to pursue global growth opportunities. Its international team—assembled and refined over several years—has been fully integrated into the organization and is well-positioned to lead the next phase of development with a clear and focused strategic vision.
