Corporate Travel for Oil, Gas & Energy Companies in Abu Dhabi
Big Bird Travel & Tourism is a Mussafah, Abu Dhabi-based travel agency that manages business travel for oil, gas and energy companies across the UAE. From the heart of the UAE’s energy capital we handle crew-change and rotation flights, urgent shutdown and turnaround mobilisation, group tickets for technical teams, and remote-site accommodation — all on one corporate account with cost-code invoicing and 24/7 Arabic-speaking support.
What We Handle
Travel services built for the energy sector
Energy travel runs on rotations, shutdowns and site access — not typical holiday bookings. Every service below is built around how operators and contractors actually mobilise crews in the UAE.
Crew-change & rotation flights
Onshore and offshore crew-change travel built around rotational schedules (28/28, 42/21, 6/2 and custom rosters), with return tickets timed to every crew swap.
Urgent mobilisation & emergency travel
24/7 support for shutdowns, turnarounds, breakdowns and emergency call-outs — last-minute tickets, date changes and same-day travel when a plant can’t wait.
Group tickets for turnaround & shutdown teams
Negotiated group and bulk fares for large maintenance, turnaround and commissioning teams, with block seats and staggered rotation departures.
Expat, engineer & specialist travel
Flexible business and economy fares for engineers, inspectors, NDT and technical specialists flying in from Europe, Asia and beyond — with seat, lounge and mileage preferences.
Remote-site & Ruwais accommodation
Hotel and long-stay bookings near Ruwais, ICAD, Mussafah and project sites, plus support with camp and offshore-logistics accommodation.
One corporate account & cost-code invoicing
A single company account with an agreed approval process and consolidated monthly invoicing by project or cost code — clean, auditable records for finance and procurement.
Rotations, shutdowns, mobilisations — 900+ airlines, group fares, one point of contact.
