NAS already has a Gulfstream 450 and Hawker 750 in its fleet and sees the arrival of the new long-range Falcon 2000LX as a major step forward. With a range of up to 4,000 nautical miles, the Falcon 2000LX can fly non-stop from Dubai to Paris and London.

“The Falcon 2000LX is the optimum aircraft to fly this route with a spacious cabin and good performance enabling it to get into some of the smaller airports in Europe. This, coupled with its large baggage compartment, allows our guests to travel with all their home comforts,” said Graeme Deary, executive director - business development.

He said that one of the attractions of the aircraft was its high cycle use and its hot and high capabilities. NetJets Middle East brought the concept of fractional aircraft ownership to the region. Owners buy or lease a fractional interest in an executive aircraft based on the number of hours they are likely to fly in a year.
