Falcon Aviation is Abu Dhabi Air Expo 2016’s Golden sponsor once again, and will be showcasing its services at the event.
Currently the company’s fleet comprises of various state of the art helicopters and jets including the Agusta AW109 and AW189, the Bell 412, the Eurocopter EC 130, the Embraer Legacy 600, the Embraer Lineage 1000 and the Gulfstream G450.
Falcon Aviation has taken the delivery of six Q400s that are operating successfully on various contracts globally, for airlines and oil & gas industry. The Q 400 is the latest in the Q series from the Bombardier Company and offers unmatched performance and operational flexibility.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, Falcon was able to secure a contract with the UAE oil & gas industry to support its logistics division to transport the employees to the offshore islands. In order to facilitate the contract, Falcon has worked closely with ADAC to secure a long-term lease of Sheikh Zayed Terminal at Al Bateen Airport. Falcon has partnered with ARINC to provide and implement a seamless system departure control system known as Rockwell Collins’ ARINC (L-DCS) which helps Falcon Aviation to automate the entire passenger handling process including check in and boarding efficiency and barcoding bag for positive identification and passenger reconciliation.
Falcon Aviation will also receive the delivery of two latest state of the art AW169 helicopters in April 2016; one to support Falcon Aviation’s offshore oil contracts and the other for VIP chartering. This delivery marks the entrance of the all-new AW169 helicopter into the UAE aviation market. Falcon Aviation has already accomplished significant success with the AW189 in the oil and gas fields and the AW169 will add to this growth.
