Empire Aviation grows managed aircraft fleet and develops new Dubai facility

Dubai,December 4th, 2024:

Empire Aviation Group, the Dubai-based global provider of integrated private aviation solutions (aircraft management, sales, charter and CAMO services) is supporting MEBAA 2024 with a dedicated pavilion at the show. The company will meet its aircraft owners, charter customers, partners and aviation officials during the course of the event, as regional business aviation continues to develop strongly, driven by increasing business activity and investment opportunities in the UAE and wider region.

Empire Aviation operates one of the Middle East’s most extensive managed fleets of business jets with aircraft based in global locations. The fleet currently comprises 25 aircraft with around one third of these available for charter. Empire Aviation holds AOCs (Air Operator Certificates) in the UAE and San Marino, and operates in the key regions for private aviation, covering the USA, Europe, India, Africa and Indonesia, in addition to the Middle East. Empire Aviation Group is also the authorised Independent Sales Representative (ISR) for Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in India.

As a global private aviation company, the Empire Aviation team of 130 specialists provides a wide range of integrated aviation services for aircraft owners and charter clients, and personalised customer services. Empire Aviation’s ability to integrate all facets of private aviation sets the company apart and enables the team to deliver a rewarding and award-winning experience to aircraft owners and charter clients.

Empire Aviation works to source and select the right aircraft for owners, who then entrust the management of the aircraft to the experienced team who safeguard its value through the appropriate ownership model. Each of the company’s aircraft tailored business models offers unique advantages – comprehensive management, revenue generation, expert maintenance supervision, or access to private jet travel.
According to Paras P. Dhamecha, Founder and Managing Director of Empire Aviation, the business aviation sector is developing rapidly with investment in world class infrastructure in response to the growing demand for services, as the strengthening UAE and regional economies continue to attract business and wealth.

“2024 has been an exceptional year for Empire Aviation and we see exciting times ahead both for the Middle East and other markets, where we have several new projects in the pipeline. We see sustained international interest in all our services from various sectors, including individuals and families, corporates, and government entities. Empire Aviation works globally but our roots are in Dubai and the UAE, where we are currently developing a new corporate facility at the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South. It’s not just about physical infrastructure – Dubai and the UAE are also investing in the essential regulatory framework and ecosystem of partners and talent vital to supporting the vision to make Dubai the aviation capital of the world.”

On MEBAA 2024:

“Private aviation is built on professional-personal relationships and trust, and so the opportunity to meet face to face with our aircraft owners, charter clients and aviation partners is very important. Of course, the MEBAA show also provides the perfect opportunity to connect with new people and companies, and industry innovations. The MEBAA show also serves as a fantastic stage to introduce Empire Aviation and our team both to regional and international industry players, while also sharing our unique story.”
