Qatar Executive – Qatar Airways’ business jet division – is promoting the concept of using its fleet of private jets to fly to Jeddah or Medinah to perform Umrah during the Holy month and the upcoming Eid-al-Fitr holidays.
The company said it had observed “significant demand” for its luxury travel service since the start of the Holy month.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker, who also heads up the airline’s business jet division, said private jet travel for Umrah has steadily increased in the past years, “but this year has been exceptional”.
“For travellers, who are pressed for time and looking for a convenient means of travel for Umrah, Qatar Executive provides an ideal solution, and we are delighted to serve our clientele during this special season,” he added.
As the Umrah season and Eid holidays are the time of the year when families traditionally travel together, Qatar Executive’s fleet offers two aircraft types with different capacities to accommodate group and family travel.
Qatar Executive’s Challenger 605s with a single cabin configuration can accommodate up to 11 passengers, and the more spacious Global 5000s or the luxurious Global XRS with a two cabin configuration have a capacity for up to 13 passengers.
