History

Falcon Aviation Services was established in 2006 under the initiative of HH Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, with the prime objective of filling the gaps in the local Aviation Market through the provision of innovative products and services. From 2007, Falcon has a variety of different service segments such as Rotary wing operations, VIP shuttle transfer within the UAE, joy flights and fixed wing operations.

In December 2007, Falcon set a new world record for the largest aerial banner ever flown. Measuring in excess of 50,000 square feet in size, the banner was towed under a Bell 412 Aircraft. The banner depicting the UAE flag was clearly visible from up to 20 kilometers away.

In 2008, Falcon received the first Gulfstream G450 and 2 additional Bell 412 helicopters. Falcon provides services such as wet leasing to turnkey operations, training, consulting and maintenance support.

In 2016, Falcon Aviation began operation of its new MRO and FBO which will be a facility for different types of aircraft.
