ExecuJet began in the Middle East in 1999 with a couple of managed aircraft and now boasts a managed fleet of over 20 aircraft. It now employs more than 195 staff and runs a state of the art maintenance and FBO at Dubai International Airport.

Even in the downturn this year ExecuJet  added two privately run aircraft to its managed fleet, including a
Global XRS and Challenger 605. The company is now looking to enhance the charter proposition
by adding additional aircraft over the coming months.

“We are especially pleased to participate at the Dubai Airshow this year,” said Managing Director Mike Berry. “We are starting to see the first early signs of an upturn after what has been an unprecedented fall off in business aircraft flying in this region as a result of the global economic crisis, which has impacted tourism and progress on various regional development projects. In this context the show will be a terrific boast for the region and we will maximise our presence to network and take the opportunity to promote our full aviation services.”

ExecuJet Middle East has progressively expanded its capabilities in aircraft maintenance and technical support over its 10 years in business. The Middle East Maintenance division recently attained the Artex Level 1 Service Centre Approval, enabling it to carry out ELT reprogramming for aircraft registration changes.
