Excellent track record and close working relations with Iraqi aviation authorities makes Royal JetRoyal Jet carrier of choice

Abu Dhabi 10 February, 2010: Royal JetRoyal Jet - the international luxury executive flight services company based in Abu Dhabi and chaired by His Excellency Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan – is proving to be the carrier of choice for businesses seeking safe and secure air transport to Iraq.

Royal JetRoyal Jet has completed over 100 successful flights to this region providing both VIP air charter services as well as emergency medical evacuation with Royal JetRoyal Jet Medical Evacuation Services. These are made possible through Royal JetRoyal Jet’s thorough security procedures and excellent working relations with Iraqi aviation authorities. As such, Royal JetRoyal Jet has established an excellent track record of experience and expertise that enables it to continue providing private air services to corporations and business executives wanting and needing to do business in Iraq.

“Royal JetRoyal Jet supports the UAE’s close trade and commerce ties with Iraq, having served the Iraq market for a number of years,” said Shane O’Hare, President and CEO of Royal JetRoyal Jet. “Following the 2003 conflict, Royal JetRoyal Jet became the first commercial flight provider to enter the market. Throughout this time, Royal JetRoyal Jet has worked closely with Iraqi authorities including the Iraq Civil Aviation Authority who are responsible for airspace policy, flight permissions, and safety and economic regulations.

“Whether to assist in the re-construction of the market, re-vitalize key industry sectors or help in the re-establishment of key government segments, Corporations now have the confidence to fly to Iraq with Royal JetRoyal Jet because of on-ground security and careful attention to details that we provide,” he continued.

Royal JetRoyal Jet has a team of highly qualified security officers working with specialised and highly-skilled security consultants on-the-ground in Baghdad and Basra. A comprehensive risk and threat analysis is provided and each case individually assessed by Royal JetRoyal Jet’s Head of Security. Supported by real time updates and intelligence information, security evaluations are then constantly conducted throughout the entire journey.

Reliability and discretion are the key components that Royal JetRoyal Jet focuses on, supported by the luxurious service which is the hallmark of every Royal JetRoyal Jet flight. In addition, aircraft can be configured to customers’ precise requirements, providing meeting rooms, dining areas or a private stateroom, for instance.

“Royal JetRoyal Jet’s well-established reliability, expertise and unparalleled service provide a distinct advantage when compared with competitors who are only now entering the market. It is these aspects that give meaning to the accolades, recognition and support Royal JetRoyal Jet has received over the years from the industry at large, government authorities and our corporate customers,” said O’Hare. “And in travelling and doing business in Iraq, a reliable, secure and at the same time unparalleled luxurious air travel via Royal JetRoyal Jet would be the most sensible investment that corporations should make.”
