The aircraft was obtained to meet increasing demand for ultra-long range charter aircraft in this region.
"The charter market in the Middle East has typically favored the larger, intercontinental aircraft," say Khader Mattar, sales director ExecuJet Middle East. "Although our Bombardier Learjet 60 is popular on regional missions, the Global Express will offer our customers non-stop flights to destinations such as Perth, Australia and Cape Town, South Africa."
In line with ExecuJet's stringent operational requirements, this aircraft will be flown by a highly experienced crew members Captain Guy Farnfield (total hours 7200), Captain Denzil White (total hours 8300) and Chief Flight Attendant Fatima Bouzroud. This team will ensure that passengers enjoy the very best in on-board service and in-flight safety.
"We are extremely proud to be able to offer this highly sought-after model in the region," says Capt. White. "The aircraft features a seating capacity of up to 16 passengers, it has a range of over 11000km, it flies farther and faster than any other business aircraft, and provides the most comfortable and productive cabin environment."
ExecuJet Middle East remains the only independent charter operator to have been granted a U.A.E. air operating certificate, enabling its aircraft to operate from Dubai International Airport.
Mattar points out however: "An added advantage is that the cost-efficiency of this aircraft type allows ExecuJet to offer departures from most Middle East cities without incurring huge ferry costs."
ExecuJet is one of the largest operators of Bombardier Global Express aircraft in the world, with aircraft based in Zurich, Geneva, London and Johannesburg.
