Volar Air Mobility and Falcon Aviation to serve UAE with electric aircraft

This partnership will support Abu Dhabi’s ambition to lead in green aviation and advanced air mobility (AAM) technologies.

The MoU outlines cooperation across five key areas: certification coordination, sales and distribution, MRO and after sales support, final assembly localisation under the "Make it in the Emirates" initiative, and operations of the electric aircraft.

The RX-series Electric Aircraft developed by the Liaoning General Aviation Academy (LGAA) is currently the World’s Widest series of fixed-wing electric aircraft. It includes the RX1E-A, RX1E-S, RX4E, and more. Specifically, the RX4E aircraft is the First electric aircraft to receive Part 23 type certification (normal aircraft category) in the world.

Henry Hooi, founding chairman of Volar Air Mobility Holding Company, said: "This partnership with Falcon Aviation is not just strategic; it is catalytic. The UAE has demonstrated remarkable foresight in supporting green mobility, and this MoU places us on the runway to realise the potential of electric aviation in the region. Our collaboration is a major leap toward decarbonising air travel and integrating electric aircraft into real world use cases."

Saif Al Darmaki, chairman and co-founder of Volar Air Mobility Industries commented: "This is a defining moment for sustainable aviation in the UAE. Our partnership with Falcon Aviation is rooted in shared values of innovation, reliability, and long-term impact. The RX series aircraft represents the next generation of flight which is clean, quiet, and efficient and we are proud to bring that future to life from Abu Dhabi."

Captain Ramandeep Oberoi, CEO of Falcon Aviation Services, said: “This collaboration with Volar marks a clear and strategic step in the evolution of aviation in the UAE. Falcon Aviation is a key stakeholder in the country’s air mobility ecosystem, with deep operational expertise in helicopter services, vertiport readiness, and regulatory integration. Our proven track record positions us to enable the successful deployment and support of electric aircraft.  This MoU sets the foundation for a sustainable and innovative transformation of general aviation, aligned with the UAE’s vision for clean and connected mobility.”

Anwar Hussein, managing partner and co-founder of Volar Air Mobility Industries added: "With this MoU, we are translating vision into action. Together with Falcon Aviation, we are creating an ecosystem that supports electric aviation from assembly to operations. This collaboration enables us to serve not only the UAE market but to establish Abu Dhabi as a regional hub for the future of flight across the MEA and Subcontinent markets."
