Falcon Aviation have announced a further reinforcement of its long-term partnership with Leonardo through the introduction of the AW139 into its fleet supporting the Energy industry.

This latest move will expand the fleet of Leonardo helicopters operated by Falcon Aviation which already includes the AW109SP, AW169 and AW189 types. In particular, five AW169s and four AW189s are used for offshore transport missions in the UAE and Kuwait. The introduction of the AW139 will make Falcon Aviation another prime user of the entire AW Family of latest generation helicopters of Leonardo, a unique concept design based on commonalities across the three models in terms of certification and safety standards, components, cockpit layout and appearance, training and technical support approach. The Family concept has now been delivering for years unequalled benefits to major global operators in terms of training, fleet management, versatility, efficiency and sustainability.

Capt. Raman Oberoi, the CEO of Falcon Aviation, said: “Our acquisition of the AW139 helicopter reinforces our commitment to enhancing our energy transport mission capabilities. This addition to our fleet underscores our dedication to providing the highest level of service to our clients while continuing to invest in the latest technology and safety standards. With the integration of the AW139, we are poised to meet the growing demands and enhance our operational capabilities across the UAE and beyond.”
