The bulk of the Companys business activity is in support of Abu Dhabi Offshore Oil and Engineering / Construction Companies. Other business activities include medical evacuation, survey, photography and charter. Additionally, all crop spraying in the UAE is accomplished by ADA, as well as most aerial spraying in the Sultanate of Oman. Abu Dhabi Aviation has also expanded its operations to neighbouring areas and has completed numerous Contracts throughout the Middle East, to include Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Sultanate of Oman, Republic of Yemen, Spain, Pakistan and Eritrea. Seismic surveys in search of oil and other natural resources have been completed utilizing specialist underslung load techniques using a 100 ft long line, thus enabling the helicopter to remain well clear of all obstructions. This same technique has also been used most successfully to conduct other work, such as erecting pylons as part of government schemes to bring electricity to remote areas and construction of microwave towers.
