Dubai, UAE – In a bid to enhance the aerial tourism experience in the Middle East and Africa region, Falcon Aviation Services has acquired five state-of-the-art Airbus H130 helicopters in 2023. The leading Business Aviation Services operator, renowned for its Operational and Aviation Support Services, operates helicopter sightseeing tours through its subsidiary “Falcon Tours” from iconic UAE destinations such as Atlantis Hotel, The Palm, Abu Dhabi Ports, and Expo 2020.
Currently positioned among the top five global helicopter tour operators, Falcon Aviation Services serves 70,000 sightseeing passengers annually. With the introduction of the new H130 fleet, the company aims to double this figure within the next three years. The first H130, in operation since February, has already accumulated an impressive 768 flight hours.
Captain Ramandeep Oberoi, Chief Operating Officer of Falcon Aviation Services, expressed excitement about the H130, emphasizing its exceptional features for a superior sightseeing experience. The H130 is equipped with large panoramic windows, air conditioning, spacious interiors, and accessories tailored for a remarkable adventure. Additionally, its low sound levels enable seamless operations in urban environments.
The remaining four H130 helicopters are expected to be delivered by the year’s end, bringing Falcon Aviation Services’ fleet to nine H130s. This expansion solidifies the company’s position as one of the largest sightseeing heli-tour operators in the UAE.
