Airborne Technologies announces that it has
concluded a multi-year agreement with MENA
Aerospace Enterprises WLL of Bahrain.

MENA Aerospace was appointed as the exclusive representative for Airborne Technologies in the Middle East. The companies will be initially focusing on pipeline monitoring, leak detection, airborne surveying and digital mapping in the Middle East and Africa. At a later stage, the scope of services will be expanded to include surveillance, patrolling, border control and law enforcement solutions.

The services provided to the infrastructure operator are tailored to the hazard criteria given to the surveillance air and ground team. The pipeline provider is free from any workload caused by analyzing data. His maintenance crew receives reports listing only the relevant findings. Ralph Eisenschmid, MENA Aerospace CEO said: "We are pleased and honored to enter into this
partnership with Airborne Technologies. This collaborative effort represents a new standard in airborne sensing, imaging and scanning. We have packaged the data acquisition and analysis as a comprehensive service. A client's imaging and analysis requirements can be delivered on a packaged services basis, thereby eliminating the
client's need for large investments in equipment, training and infrastructure.
Real-time airborne data can be delivered in a multitude of formats and of course, all data and imaging results are securely stored employing the strictest of protocols."

Marcus Gurtner, Airborne Technologies‘ CSO said: "The fixed wing aircraft platform is the lowest cost, most fuel efficient and most effective platform. The combining of MENA Aerospace and Airborne Technologies represents a unique service offering in the
Middle East and Africa.

The service will be provided from MENA's facilities in the Kingdom of Bahrain and will be marketed throughout the Middle East and Africa. MENA Aerospace's airline subsidiary MAE Aircraft Management WLL will operate the surveillance aircraft from its base in Bahrain.
