Flybird RPAS, the Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) division of Flybird Group, is set to showcase its advanced drone capabilities while unveiling its vision to provide integrated aviation solutions for offshore and onshore energy operations.

This will take place during the upcoming 25th NOG Energy Week Conference and Exhibition, taking place from 5–9 July 2026 at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja. The exhibition marks a key milestone in Flybird Group’s strategic expansion across the aviation and energy sectors.

As the energy industry increasingly adopts unmanned aviation technologies to improve safety, operational efficiency and asset integrity, Flybird RPAS is delivering intelligent aerial solutions for the oil and gas, infrastructure, utilities, mining and maritime sectors.

Visitors to the Flybird RPAS stand will experience drone applications designed to enhance inspections, reduce operational costs, minimise exposure to high-risk environments and provide real-time aerial intelligence for informed decision-making.

The Group will also engage stakeholders on its planned expansion into offshore helicopter services, providing personnel transportation, logistics support, emergency response, aerial surveillance and specialised aviation services for offshore energy operators across West Africa.

This complements Flybird Group’s growing portfolio of aircraft management, business aviation, RPAS operations, MRO and aviation advisory services, reinforcing its position as an integrated aviation partner for the energy sector.
