The award was presented to Royal Jet's President & CEO, Shane O'Hare by the WTA's Executive Director Manon Han at a gala lunch reception in London's prestigious Mosimann's dining club in Belgravia.
Accepting the award in front of an audience of invited guests, including His Excellency Mohammed Al Zaabi from the UAE Embassy in the UK, O'Hare said the timing of the accolade could not have been better.
"Royal Jet this year celebrates its fifth anniversary - and to have achieved such an honour in such a relatively short time frame speaks volumes about the high esteem with which we are regarded throughout the industry and the very high level of service which our customers have come to expect from us," said O'Hare.
The audience was told that although the selection process had been a difficult one, Royal Jet was picked for its reliability, fine aircraft interiors, its exceptional bespoke client services and dedication to delivering the ultimate in safety, efficiency and luxury.
"The award, which owes much to the direction Royal Jet has taken under the leadership of its Chairman, His Excellency Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, is even more valued because of the reputation we enjoy amongst our industry peers and partners," O'Hare said.
The WTA award comes just four months after Royal Jet won another prestigious award - Business Jet Provider of the Year - at the Aviation Business Awards ceremony in Dubai.
Sheikh Hamdan said the awards were the culmination of a great deal of dedication and hard work by all at Royal Jet. "These accolades belongs to all our people who have worked tirelessly to ensure we represent the pinnacle of customer service and professionalism in the industry; and on their behalf, I can promise that we will live up to the expectations inherent in this solid vote of confidence."
