Continuing its accelerated growth since its inception, Qatar Airways announced the expansion of its private jet fleet with an order for up to 20 aircraft from Gulfstream Aerospace. The signing was announced in conjunction with Gulfstream’s introduction of an all-new family of business jets, the Gulfstream G500 and G600. Qatar placed firm orders and options for the all-new, wide-cabin G500 and the flagship G650ER, both featuring fresh air and industry-leading cabin altitudes that boost mental alertness and productivity while reducing fatigue.
“In order to keep pace with the future strategic growth plans of our private jet division, the fleet is being expanded with aircraft that meet the needs of our guests, providing a wide range of options,” said Akbar Al Baker, CEO, Qatar Airways. “The announcement for G650ERs and G500s signals a next step for Qatar Executive’s relatively young and buoyant history.”
Launched in 2009, Qatar Executive offers high-end air charter services for individuals, families, businesses, corporations and governments.
