Falcon Aviation Services has ordered five new Airbus H130 helicopters to upgrade its fleet. The helicopters will be used for Tours sightseeing helicopter flights and will be delivered over the next years.
Ramandeep Oberoi, COO, Falcon Aviation, said: “We are very pleased to add five brand new H130s into our fleet for our helicopter sightseeing tours operations. This will further our presence in the market and help us double this business in the coming years both in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.”
Arnaud Montalvo, Airbus Helicopters Head of Africa Middle East, said: “We’re delighted to receive this important vote of confidence from a highly professional operator which already has long experience with our helicopters.”
According to Airbus, the H130 is an intermediate single-engine helicopter with a spacious cabin for one pilot and up to seven passengers which is popular with pilots who love its sporty and safe flying qualities. Besides it is also the quietest helicopter on the market in its category, helped by Airbus’ Fenestron shrouded tail rotor and automatic variable rotor speed control which make it a friendly neighbor in cities with a noise signature 6 dB below international ICAO limits.
