Qatar Executive recently expanded its service portfolio with the rapidly developing and expanding aircraft management business.
The expansion is in light of increased demand from Qatari customers who have acquired their own business aircraft. Qatar Executive has seen a substantial growth in aircraft management agreements and added three-owned jets to its fleet over the past 18 months.
The company provides aircraft owners with tailored requirements, but generally includes taking care of entire flight operation, trip planning, and allocation of pilots and flight attendants.
Qatar Airways group chief executive HE Akbar Al Baker, who also heads up the airline’s business jet division, said: “Our private jet division is an integral part of the Qatar Airways group. Apart from our successful charter business, we are now able to offer aircraft management services to our clientele and are seeing substantial market potential.”
Another service aspect offered by Qatar Executive is that aircraft owners can request for their jet to be rented to third parties and thereby generate revenue.
The company currently operates a long-range fleet of eight Bombardier aircraft including three Challenger 605s, four Global 5000s and a Global XRS with a two cabin configuration and a capacity for up to 13 passengers. In addition, Qatar Executive received a 40-seat Airbus A319 all-premium class aircraft for larger groups.
