Bahrain Airshow: PrivatAir to launch Gulf operations from Bahrain

The company is in its 33rd year of operations. It has headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland and operating bases in Zurich, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich and Amsterdam. It already has experience in the Gulf through its time running the private airline service for Lufthansa on the German company’s premium-only routes to the Middle East. Services include Private Charter for VIPs and executives, Aircraft Sales & Management, Private Airline Services, Ground Services and Training.

Speaking at the show the company’s president Greg Thomas said PrivatAir is currently spending significant time and effort in planning and organising for a launch of executive aircraft management and charter operations in mid-summer this year. “We are extremely excited about our commitment to set up an operation in Bahrain, which is a highly attractive and welcoming regulatory and business-oriented environment from which to operate in the Gulf region. By popular demand, PrivatAir will finally establish a physical presence in the region”, Thomas said.

PrivatAir was the launch customer for the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) and operates a fleet of five BBJs on behalf of its airline partners, as well as a VIP-configured Boeing 757 that is available for private charter. Through its network of specialist partners, PrivatAir also provides private charter of almost any type of aircraft.
