Since 2007,
from Dubai.

Founded in 2007 with two managed jets — a Dassault Falcon 900EX EASy and a Hawker 850XP — Empire was the first private aviation operator to obtain an AOC from the UAE GCAA. Today the firm holds dual A6/T7 registries plus India NSOP via EAMSPL Bangalore, and serves as Gulfstream's Sales Representative for India.
