The high flying academy is based at Al Ain International Airport and has been purpose built for flight training. It has set the benchmark for pilot training in the Middle East, offering fixed wing and helicopter pilot courses. Its fleet includes Cessna 172SP, Diamond DA42, Bell 206 and Bell 407 aircraft and flight simulators. The helicopter hangars will be used for the storage and maintenance of the fleet helicopters.
Horizon first viewed Rubb’s state-of-the-art hangar systems at IDEX 2011 in Abu Dhabi and the relationship grew from there. The Horizon team visited Rubb’s manufacturing plant in Gateshead, UK, to view their state of the art helicopter hangars and personnel from Rubb travelled to Al Ain to assist with site assessments and oversee the installation of the structures.
