Abu Dhabi Aviation en hausse

Abu Dhabi Aviation, qui exploite une flotte commerciale d’hélicoptères, déclare une hausse de 16,4 pour cent de son bénéfice net sur les trois derniers mois, à un peu moins Dh75 millions. L’augmentation du bénéfice net est venue malgré une baisse du chiffre d’affaires d’environ 10 pour cent, à Dh468 millions, mais s’explique par une diminution des dépenses et des frais de financement général selon The National.
