Empire Aviation Group builds on San Marino AOC to develop global management and charter business

Dubai-based Empire Aviation Group (EAG) subsidiary – Empire Aviation San Marino – is building its registered fleet in San Marino, following the award in 2015 of an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) for aircraft management and charter by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Republic of San Marino. EAG currently has two managed aircraft registered in San Marino with four further managed business jets in the pipeline for mid year registration. In September 2015, EAG became the first aviation company from the Middle East to be awarded an AOC by San Marino, where the company now has a dedicated office supporting two registered aircraft – Dassault Falcon 7X and a Bombardier Challenger 300. The San Marino AOC enables Empire Aviation’s registered aircraft to perform worldwide commercial air operations, regardless of the aircraft base. EAG also holds a United Arab Emirates AOC and the company currently manages a fleet of 25 business jets with bases in the UAE, Oman, Nigeria, India and Hong Kong.
