at
Sumburgh Airport. The aircraft operated for the
Maritime and Coastguard Agency. RVL Aviation was formed in 2007 after its predecessor,
Air Atlantique, was dissolved into two separate businesses,
West Atlantic UK and RVL Aviation. The company re-located from
Coventry Airport to
East Midlands Airport in 2010 upon the completion of its purpose-built hangar facility. RVL Aviation operates ad hoc passenger and cargo charter flights on behalf of both private and public sector clients. This includes
Jersey-based air taxi Isle-Fly, which uses two of RVL Aviation's
Beechcraft King Airs for its flights. RVL Aviation also operates aerial surveillance and survey flights for a variety of clients including the
Environment Agency and the
Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). RVL Aviation's operations for the MCA includes aerial surveillance, aerial search and rescue support, and providing aircraft for the aerial spraying of pollution dispersants on oil spills. The aerial spraying of pollution dispersants was originally performed using a fleet of
Douglas DC-3 aircraft; however, RVL Aviation now uses a
Boeing 737-400 from
West Atlantic UK for this task in a joint operation with the latter. == Fleet ==
