Firm aims to extend service beyond UAE

Dubai Empire Aviation Group, the Dubai-based general aviation company, has added three aircraft to its managed fleet of executive jets, bringing the total fleet size to 23 — one of the largest mixed fleets of executive jets in the region.

The company is focusing on developing its aircraft management operation, with a view to extending this service to aircraft (and owners) based beyond the UAE; currently, EAG’s managed fleet of executive jets operates from Dubai International Airport.

The latest aircraft to join EAG’s managed fleet are a new Bombardier Global Express XRS; an Embraer Legacy 600 and a Hawker 900XP. The Bombardier Global Express is an ultra long range corporate and VIP high speed aircraft for which EAG also managed the delivery on behalf of a private owner. All three aircraft are with EAG and the Embraer Legacy 600 and Hawker 900XP will further complement its diverse fleet, open to the regional and international charter market through EAG’s executive jet charter service. EAG will manage the Bombardier Global XRS for the owner’s use.
