DOHA, Qatar – Qatar Executive made its presence felt at this year’s Middle East Business Aviation Show – MEBA – by participating with its elegant stand at the Dubai World Central exhibition site and displaying its brand new Bombardier Global 5000 Vision private jet.
The biennial show was officially inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman and CEO of Emirates Group and Chairman of Dubai Airports, who visited Qatar Executive’s booth during the Royal Tour.
Qatar Executive’s Bombardier Global 5000 Vision attracted many visitors during the three-day show, all of whom were given the opportunity to see the elegant aircraft interiors and refined cabin features of this technologically-advanced aircraft.
Executive Vice President of Qatar Executive, David Edwards, said: “Qatar Executive continues to go from strength to strength and MEBA is a great opportunity for us to showcase our rapidly expanding fleet and demonstrate our industry leading offerings to partners and customers alike.”
The Global 5000 jet combines luxury and unsurpassed performance, and features one of the widest and most spacious cabin interiors in the world of super-large business jets. Able to fly non-stop from Doha to destinations such as Tokyo, the aircraft offers high levels of comfort through its two-cabin configuration and allows for seven passengers to sleep comfortably.
The three-day event allowed Qatar Executive to showcase its growing business aviation service portfolio and raise interest for its new General Aviation Terminal (FBO), which is currently being constructed at the new Hamad International Airport and is set to open in the first half of 2015.
Apart from strengthening relations with customers, brokers and suppliers and establishing new business relationships, the Qatar Executive team, used the prestigious show to reinforce the ground-breaking announcement recently made by the company to purchase up to 20 Gulfstream aircraft, including the manufacturer’s all-new G500 and the G650ER, reaffirming Qatar Executive’s position as one of the leading business aviation companies in the Gulf.
Since its inception just five years ago, Qatar Executive has seen rapid growth and is currently flying a top-notch fleet of eight business jets, which can reach most destinations in the world non-stop.
