Falcon Aviation Services of Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) has expanded its Leonardo AW189 helicopter fleet with the addition of a further two aircraft, of which one is leased from Milestone Aviation Group (Milestone), a GECAS company.
The twin-engine medium-sized helicopter will arrive in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, this month to support increasing demand for uplift in the offshore oil and gas sector. The AW189 will be able to carry up to 19 passengers and is equipped with air conditioning and an auxiliary power unit (APU), allowing for continuous air conditioning in both the cabin and the cockpit without having main engines running. The aircraft is being leased to Falcon Aviation by Milestone through an operating lease and represents the second helicopter lease transaction for Falcon Aviation.
