A business jet, private jet, or bizjet is a jet aircraft designed for transporting small groups of people. Business jets may be adapted for other roles, such as the evacuation of casualties or express parcel deliveries, and some are used by public bodies, government officials or the armed forces.
Falcon Aviation Services was established in 2006 under the initiative of HH Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, with the prime objective of filling the gaps in the local aviation market through the provision of innovative products and services.
