Falcon Aviation Services has acquired five Airbus H130 helicopters for aerial tourism operations.

The first helicopter was delivered to Falcon by Airbus Helicopters in February 2023, and it has already amassed an impressive 768 flight hours. The remaining four H130s, sporting eye-catching paint schemes, have just been delivered from the Airbus Helicopters facility in Marignane, France. This delivery will expand Falcon Aviation’s fleet to nine H130s, solidifying its position as one of the leading sightseeing heli-tour operators in the UAE.

COO captain Ramandeep Oberoi says: “We are thrilled with the arrival of our H130 helicopter; it perfectly aligns with our commitment to delivering an unmatched sightseeing experience. The helicopters feature attractive colours, making them ideally suited for touristic flights. Soon, these captivating birds will grace the skies over Atlantis the Palm, Dubai Festival City and Abu Dhabi Corniche.”

Through its subsidiary Falcon Tours, Falcon Aviation currently offers helicopter sightseeing tours from iconic UAE destinations. The company serves 70,000 sightseeing passengers annually, and aims to double this figure within the next three years with the imminent fleet additions.
