Falcon Begins First Base Maintenance on Falcon's Global Express XRS
The aircraft is now undergoing a complete six-week base check at Falcon Technic's facility in Dubai South. This scheduled 60-month inspection, carried out in accordance with the aircraft's maintenance program, typically requires several weeks to complete.
It marks a major milestone for Falcon, which recently received its CAR 145 approval from the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority. The work is being carried out to ensure the aircraft remains in full compliance and continues to reflect Falcon's high standards of safety and comfort.
Falcon Technic's 13,705 sqm facility is designed to accommodate all types of aircraft, from midsize jets to aircraft as large as an Airbus A380. The setup reflects Falcon's long-term investment in technical self-sufficiency.
The Global Express XRS is a key asset in Falcon's fleet. By choosing to conduct this base check internally, Falcon reinforces its commitment to quality and operational control.
'This is a proud moment,' said Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investment 'Maintaining our own aircraft in-house gives us full confidence in the process and shows we're ready to handle complex maintenance programs moving forward.'
This is the first of many heavy maintenance projects planned under Falcon Technic's roadmap, both for Falcon's fleet and for select third-party operators across the region.

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. - Stellar IP90 Flow Test Result in the Beetaloo maintaining stable gas rate over the final 30-day period
Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd ('Falcon') Stellar IP90 Flow Test Result in the Beetaloo maintaining stable gas rate over the final 30-day period 11 August 2025 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce that Shenandoah South 2H Sidetrack ('SS-2H ST1') achieved an average 90-day initial production ('IP90') flow rate of 6.7 million cubic feet per day ('MMcf/d') over 1,671-metres (5,483-foot) within the Amungee Member B-Shale in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern Territory, Australia, making it a Beetaloo Basin record. Points to note: Flow rates from the SS-2H ST1 well over the last 30 days have increased by ~2% without any downhole intervention and maintaining a 44/64' choke. At the completion of the 90-day period, the well was flowing at 6.5 MMcf/d with a wellhead pressure of ~700 psi, a ~3% decline in wellhead pressure from the end of Day 60. The SS-2H ST1 well has now been suspended ahead of the commencement of gas sales to the Northern Territory Government via the Sturt Plateau Compression Facility in mid-2026, subject to weather conditions and final stakeholder approvals. For further details on the SS-2H ST1 flow test, including a table and charts, please refer to Appendix A. 2025 Drilling Campaign The 2025 drilling campaign continued to progress with the intermediate section of the first two wells (S2-1H and S2-3H) successfully drilled. The rig is currently drilling the intermediate section of the third well (S2-5H). The campaign is the first multi-well drilling program implementing batch drilling in the Beetaloo Basin. On completion of the intermediate section of the S2-5H well, the rig is planned to commence drilling of the 10,000-foot horizontal sections of the three wells. This will complete the drilling phase of the five well Shenandoah South pilot program. As previously announced, Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited ('Falcon Australia') has no cost exposure to the drilling of these three wells as it opted to reduce its participating interest in the three wells to 0%. Philip O'Quigley, CEO of Falcon commented: 'The results we are seeing from the wells drilled and flow tested to date in the Shenandoah area of the Beetaloo illustrate the huge commercial potential of this area and augur extremely well for the pilot program and any subsequent larger scale development. These latest encouraging results will no doubt support Tamboran's efforts in their farming down of an adjacent 400,000 acre area known as 'Phase 2 Development Area', further de-risking the commercial development of the Beetaloo.' Tom Layman, Director of Falcon commented: 'The strong 90 day flowback performance from the SS2-2H ST1 is good news and in, combination with the SS- 1H, is another great result for this area of the Beetaloo. The fact that the well increased production rate from 6.4 MMcf/d to 6.5 MMcf/d over the last 30 days with very little change in pressure shows that we have more opportunity to optimize and maximize the performance of the Amungee member B-shale.'
