Abu Dhabi's Falcon Aviation Services has formally ratified an order for three additional Leonardo AW169 helicopters at the Dubai Airshow, as it prepares to commence work on what it said is a significant new offshore contract in early 2018.

 


Falcon Aviation (Stand 1284) has successfully logged 500 incident-free hours with the medium helicopter, of which it already has a number in the fleet, under its offshore contract with French oil company Total.

 


“Falcon has quickly grown to become a fleet leader in the offshore fraternity worldwide," said COO Raman Oberoi, "flying 100 hours in the past month." This activity reflects an overall increase in helicopter flying following the launch in May of the Falcon Aviation-managed heliport at Dubai World Central Airport.

 


Falcon is also offering a three-month charter enticement here at the airshow, where long-haul charter flights, if booked for travel from the end of November until the end of February, will be available with a 5-percent discount. Charter aircraft available for the discount include an Embraer&nbsp;Legacy 600 and Lineage 1000 and a Gulfstream G450.
