Angola's Turaco Aviation and Falcon Aviation, a UAE operator, FBO and MRO, have entered into a strategic partnership that will provide rotary wing services to the aviation sector in Angola, offering the latest models of aircraft as well as in-country maintenance capabilities, giving the companies a broad spectrum of expansion within the southern African markets.

The agreement brings together innovation to the Angolan aviation sector, specifically in the oil and gas industry, with IOGP compliant aircraft and VIP charters among other services. Turaco is a locally registered company and Falcon is a company with operating experience in the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Senegal and Ghana.
