Empire Aviation Group to Double Fleet Size
EAG to open new base in Asia as it plans to double its fleet size by the end of this decade.

Empire Aviation Group is aiming to double the size of its fleet by 2020, the Dubai-based operator told AIN recently. “We’d like to double the fleet of 25-26 aircraft by the end of the decade,” Paras Dhamecha, executive director, said in an interview earlier this month. “We see growth coming out of India, where we are in the process of obtaining a non-scheduled operator AOC. That’s a few months away. We also have our base in Africa and hopefully [a] new base [in Asia], which we are going to be talking about shortly,” he continued.
