Pioneering in flight support for over 30 years, Hadid, a comprehensive flight support provider, has turned its focus to a higher level of support services, and extra care for business aviation flights inevitably leading to expanding its presence farther.

Hadid is strengthening its business structure around the globe by opening branches in the USA, India, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, Brazil, South Africa and recently added Ethiopia. The market dynamics and economic potential of these countries, as well as growing interest in Hadid's services in the mentioned regions are the main factors that stand behind the decisions. This brings the company's global footprint to a total of 19 offices.

Strengthening the company's presence in Brazil and the USA from the office in Virginia for example, provides an excellent foothold to expand into the markets of the Americas. Hadid has already been supporting clients in those regions for many years and it only made perfect business sense to intensify presence to support operations there. This move facilitates serving Hadid's clients better with local staff and means of communication. Not to mention that this also raises the level of support to the international operators who will benefit from smoother, more personalized and refined concierge services on the ground.

“Hadid concluded decades ago, that Africa posed some of the main challenges for business aviation. Our very first office started in Senegal, next Algeria, Libya, Niger with an exclusive contract with ANAC (Niger CAA), South Africa, and recently Ethiopia. We have seen a promising growth that is still increasing in Africa accompanied by strong Asian investment in the continent, the plan is to cover the continent within a year” says Mr. Issa Zuriqi, regional director Africa, Asia and Australia.

Hadid's expansion in Asia started four years ago through their current offices in India and Pakistan with the latest addition of Sri Lanka. The company is in the process of opening a representative office in Kuala Lumpur, moving towards their main plan for 2015 to launch an office in China and recruiting more Chinese professionals to their operations team.

Hadid continues to grow in response to its clients' needs. This aggressive expansion allowing the company to better serve and more efficiently handle its operations internationally.
