Royal Jet launches new sales operations at Emirates Palace

This development coincided with the Global Medical Forum GCC ME Summit that was held from May 1-3, 2005.

"We are delighted to be able to launch our sales operations and have a presence at Emirates Palace as it creates a closer link to better reach our clients," said Ammar Balkar, Vice President Marketing and Sales, Royal Jet. "It is a very strategic collaboration for both parties, as we attract the same high-income clientele. Our clients demand an unsurpassed level of luxury, comfort and lifestyle VIP services and by being within their reach at Emirates Palace; we aim to meet their needs."

Royal Jet started operations with a 42-seat Boeing Business Jet (BBJ), the modern, ultra-luxurious version of the Boeing 737-700. In August 2003, Royal Jet launched Gulfstream (G300) the latest version of the popular GIV. In August and September 2003, the first two G300s were introduced. In 2004, Royal Jet added a second 42-seat Boeing Business Jet (BBJ). A Bombardier Challenger 300 (CL300) aircraft and a third BBJ will join the fleet in June and December 2005, repectively.

"We have experienced rapid growth since our first operations office opened in Abu Dhabi and as part of its commitment to its expansion plans in the Middle East, Royal Jet has opened sales offices in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Dubai," Balkar explains.
