MEBAA: BBJ adds a new dimension to the Empire

The sales, charter and continuing airworthiness management organisation (CAMO) specialist, marks its 15th anniversary at MEBAA this year.

It has expanded to manage aircraft based across the Middle East, Asia and Africa, including business jets, helicopters, seaplanes and air ambulances, since its launch in 2007.

Empire currently has 20 business jets under management and air operator certificates or equivalent in three countries.

Commenting on the company’s crystal anniversary, founder and managing director Paras P Dhamecha said: “Empire Aviation has successfully developed into an award-winning global private aviation service provider to aircraft owners and charter clients, thanks to the team and the support of all our partners.

“There is no doubt that we have benefitted from Dubai and the UAE’s position as an international aviation hub with world-class infrastructure, facilities and regulators. Our journey continues and the exciting addition of the BBJ quite literally adds a new dimension.”

The newly inducted BBJ, an ultra-large-cabin, long-range aircraft, is being managed and operated on behalf of its owner from its base in Dubai.
