The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) has issued certification to Air Chateau DWC, granting it clearance to develop new vertiports and heliports. The aviation consultancy stated that this approval will enable it to proceed with plans, including a large-scale helicopter project in the UAE announced in October.
According to Air Chateau DWC, the certification is valid for one year from June 13 and permits it to start designing heliports and vertiports in compliance with the requirements of both the DCAA and the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority. The company must also adhere to regulations covering equipment specifications.
In November, Air Chateau signed a provisional agreement to purchase up to 100 Archer Midnight eVTOLs. The company, which counts Dubai-based business aircraft broker ArcosJet as a shareholder, already operates a fleet of helicopters and manages an eight-pad commercial heliport at the VIP terminal of Dubai World Central Al Maktoum International Airport.
