Abu Dhabi Aviation Says Global Diversification Pays Off

Abu Dhabi Aviation operates 54 helicopters, including this AgustaWestland AW139, and three DHC-8 turboprops.

Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) is convinced that its decision to expand globally, driven partly by local competition in the offshore oil and gas industry, is proving correct. The company now has contracts in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Spain, Pakistan, Eritrea, Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Australia, India, Afghanistan and Indonesia, and more in the pipeline.

With a fleet of 54 Bell Helicopter and AgustaWestland helicopters as well as three DHC-8 turboprops, ADA (Stand C200) is the largest commercial helicopter operator in the Middle East. Headquartered at Abu Dhabi International Airport, the company supplies or manages helicopters in several markets, including medical evacuation, survey, photography and charter.

In recent years, it has been challenged for that business by Falcon Aviation Services (FAS), based at Al Bateen Executive Airport.
