With the Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina in the background, GI Aviation's first PC-12NG inaugurated official operations by landing on the sea runway at Sky Dive Dubai yesterday, less than two months after receiving its air operator certificate (AOC) from the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority. General manager Marios Belidis said the company's first revenue flight took place on January 9, adding that several demonstration flights would culminate with the airline’s full operational launch on February 26.
