ExecuJet Middle East business development director Paul van der Blom said “We are very pleased with the new addition to the fleet. The Challenger 850, although not a new aircraft for us, is the first of this type on our commercial register and the owner is a repeat customer who we thank for his continued trust in ExecuJet.” The aircraft will benefit from ExecuJet’s complete management services package including crewing, dispatch, handling and in-house maintenance capabilities.

The UAE addition comes alongside a further six that the company has added to its European fleet.

These include a Danish-registered Falcon 7X, G-registered Falcon 900 EX and 2000, both positioned at Geneva Airport and an Embraer Legacy 600 and a Hawker 800B, also on the UK register, based in Marseilles and Palma de Mallorca, respectively. Operated for private use and based at London City Airport, is a new Isle of Man M-registered Falcon 7X. The new arrivals boast ExecuJet’s European-based managed fleet to 50-plus aircraft, one third of which are available for charter. Four of the six new aircraft (the Falcon 900 EXy the Falcon 2000, the Hawker 800B and the Legacy 600) are available for third party charter. 

The Dubai company is also now linked through new ExecuJet offices for charter sales – in Geneva and in Palma de Mallorca, Palma is one of Europe’s busiest private terminals during the summer months and has already handled many charter enquiries over the last weeks. The new charter sales offices complement established bases in London, Zurich, Moscow and Berlin (Schönefeld).
