United Arab Emirates-based Falcon Aviation Services (FAS) last week said it inked an exclusive agreement with Eurocopter to make it the sole regional provider of helicopter maintenance services for the helicopter manufacturer. The agreement includes the launch of a Eurocopter Maintenance Center at FASs Al Bateen airbase to provide full maintenance services for Eurocopter helicopters in the Gulf region. Under the new pact, FAS and Eurocopter will work closely to develop systems and procedures for the new maintenance center, allowing FAS to benefit from Eurocopters global experience and strategic partnerships with some 100 similar facilities worldwide. Additionally, FAS said it was ordering an additional four helicopters from Eurocopter, increasing its fleet from eight to 12.
