We're delighted to see a Sovereign in the Arab Wings fleet. The Sovereign has a strong track record in charter operations and is very popular in the Middle East. The aircraft is well-suited to the region's needs, offering an all-around balanced platform for customers who travel across the Middle East and into western Europe.
