Abu Dhabi: Empire Aviation Group’s subsidiary, Empire Aviation San Marino, was awarded an Air Operator Certificate for aircraft management and charter by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Republic of San Marino.

This makes the group the Middle East’s first aviation company to receive this award by San Marino, where the company has already opened an office with several aircraft in the pipeline for 2015-2016.

The certificate enables Empire Aviation’s registered aircraft to perform worldwide commercial air operations, regardless of the aircraft base.
