ABU DHABI--Royal Jet, the luxury aircraft service provider has acquired two Boeing Business Jet (BBJ), bringing its total fleet to seven aircraft, and having the largest BBJ 1 fleet in the world.
Royal Jet's two new aircraft are the opulent versions of the modern Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) 737-700 with an en-suite State Room (double bedroom with a bathroom), 8 VIP seats in club-four setting, 8 VIP seats in lounge setting, 8 Business seats and 12 Economy seats. The two new BBJ are ideally suited for heads of state, royalty and business elites on their trans-continental and long haul flights.
"Royal Jet has responded positively to the current rapid growth and high demand of its customers, which help us fulfil our commitment of being the region's premier provider for private air charter services catering to local, regional and international clientele," said Shaikh Hamdan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Chairman, Royal Jet. "The dedication we have placed in better serving our clientele has led to Royal Jet being the prime trend setter in the Middle East business aviation industry."
"Travelling by private air charters is fast becoming a necessity. Based on the high demand of the new BBJ with en-suite State Room, the aircraft will provide our loyal clientele with the ultimate travel solution, especially for long haul flights," commented Ammar Balkar, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Royal Jet. "The reason why most of our customers choose to travel with our private air charters is for them to save the time that it would take to travel on a commercial airliner. A trip that might have taken days is accomplished in hours, thus resulting in more discretionary time on vacation, at work or at home."
"The BBJ is three times the size of the largest new long range corporate jets; it provides the freedom and ability to configure the interior to match the personal travel preferences of the customer. With the two new BBJ additions, Royal Jet currently boasts the largest BBJ 1 fleet in the world," added Balkar.
An active leader in the air charter and services industry, Royal Jet hosted the first Middle East Business Aviation Conference (MEBA), a Royal Jet initiative launched to examine the growing needs of the business jet sector.
