Skyplan Spreads its Wings to Dubai
Source: fly-corporate.com
 Canadian flight services provider Skyplan has established a base in DAFZA (Dubai International Airport Free Zone) becoming the only North American company that provides contract flight dispatch from offices in the West and the Middle East.
"Following the success of our operation in Sharjah, customers have been asking us to extend our presence to Dubai," said Skyplan Managing Director for UAE Muhammad Sami. "A year ago we felt that there was huge demand and need for a one-window service provider. 'Local presence' is welcome in the region as our experience has vividly demonstrated."
Skyplan's Middle East operation in Sharjah has been serving its customers since last year and provides all-round support for its flight planning software. The rapid growth in demand for flight planning and trip support has led to the establishment of the new facility in Dubai.
"We have found that during the ongoing recession, our services profile fits the requirements of operators, most of whom are on cost-reduction drives," Sami continued.
Skyplan has been serving airlines and corporate customers internationally for over 26 years. The company's Middle East operations complement the existing operation in Calgary, Canada.
