Royal Jet aims to step up Indian market growth

The international executive flight services company will also use this opportunity to strengthen and promote its partnership with Aviation Services Management (ASM) – Royal Jet’s newly appointed General Sales Agent in India.

“IBAE presents us with a unique platform to introduce our business relationship with ASM as we present a new era of luxury private aviation service to the Indian market,” said Fahad Wali, Acting Vice President Commercial, Royal Jet. “As the number of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) in India increases at a much faster pace than elsewhere in the world, such an event offers tremendous potential for us to explore promising business opportunities.

“The UAE and India’s long history of strong economic and trade relations makes it a key market in Royal Jet’s global expansion efforts. And as the country’s dedicated business aviation event tailored to the needs of the Indian market, we are aiming to increase our network of brokers and private jet users in India at IBAE, specifically HNWI’s, corporate and government departments,” he added.

The IBAE event comes under the backdrop of transport analysts and consultants’ predictions of approximately 350-400 million Indian nationals opting to travel by air annually by 2020. Described by some as the biggest potential shift in transportation habits in history, such a scenario is expected to inevitably cause a strain on the existing Indian aviation infrastructure. Subsequently, this is expected to take its toll on the travel requirements of Indian executives, entrepreneurs and HNWI’s.

“Indian business executives, entrepreneurs and HNWIs are expected to look for alternatives to get around India’s congested airports and seek faster and more efficient time-saving air travel solutions,” said Vito Gomes, Founder and Managing Director, Aviation Services Management. “Indeed, ASM’s partnership with a well-known and well-respected luxury executive flight service brand as Royal Jet could not have come at a better time for business aviation users in India.

“As utilization of private or business jets and air charter or taxi services in India is expected to increase, our participation at IBEA allows us to showcase how the synergies in the core strengths of ASM and Royal Jet will work together to meet and perhaps even surpass the Indian market’s requirement for safe, secure, and reliable luxury executive jet travel,” Gomes said.
