UAE helicopter and fixed-wing charter operator Falcon Aviation Services has obtained a second air operator certificate (AOC) from San Marino’s Civil Aviation Authority (SM-CAA) to add to its UAE General Civil Aviation Authority AOC, marking “a significant milestone in its operations.”

Falcon Aviation COO Ramandeep Oberoi confirmed to AIN that this was Falcon's second AOC. “Under the GCAA, we have presently 33 helicopters and five fixed-wing aircraft. Under San Marino, we will manage four jets to start with,” he said. The launch aircraft for the first customer on the AOC will be an Embraer ERJ 135BJ, which Falcon hopes to use to provide “an extended range of bespoke services and a wider scope of customer offerings.”
