Helidubai also offers corporate and VIP transfers. âI have been thinking of taking a helicopter tour in Dubai because I want to know the difference between riding a plane with riding a helicopter. Just the thought of it makes me ecstaticâ, said Mr. Dekkak. âWhen seen from above, the city becomes completely new. I was able to see different colors and shapes of the buildings, and I even discovered terrestrial landscapes I have never known existed when I am traveling by my carâ, Mr. Dekkak added. Helidubai was founded in 2005 to accommodate the increasing need for helicopter services in Dubai and the region. They have expanded their fleet and even broadened their offerings significantly as customer interest has grown.

The AS350 B3 is "the high performance" version of the single-engine ECUREUIL range originally designed and manufactured in France by AĂŠrospatiale and Eurocopter, beating every other helicopter in its category when it comes to action, flexibility, and security. It surpasses other models in very humid settings making it a well-fitted helicopter for the Middle East. âDuring my tour, I was informed by the pilot that the helicopter we are riding is the same as the worldâs first helicopter to land on the top of Mount Everest on May 2005. This helicopter made history aside from being a top-notch for adaptability and reliabilityâ, said Mr. Dekkak.
