Qatar Executive, the corporate jet subsidiary of the Qatar Airways Group, officially welcomed the arrival of two new Gulfstream G700 aircraft on May 22, 2024.
The delivery makes Qatar Executive the only international operator of the ultra-modern G700 on a private charter basis.
The subsidiary was also the first Gulfstream customer to receive delivery of the aircraft, making it the worldwide exclusive commercial operator of the aircraft.
According to Qatar Executive, the G700 represents the future of private air travel, offering a superior flying experience in terms of design, technology, comfort and style. The aircraft also offers a spacious passenger cabin consisting of four individual living areas including a dedicated private rear stateroom with a permanent fixed bed.
The bespoke cabins have been designed and meticulously crafted to meet the standards of Qatar Executive’s customers. The passenger experience has been augmented to include a revolutionary lighting system, the industry’s lowest cabin pressure altitude and natural lighting through 20 windows.
“We are proud to enhance our existing fleet of 15 Gulfstream G650ER aircraft to include the pinnacle of business aviation excellence and look forward to seeing our guests on board soon to experience this technologically advanced aircraft,” Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer said in a statement.
President of Gulfstream, Mark Burns, said: “Qatar Executive has been a valued Gulfstream customer for nearly 10 years. We are honored to have them as our international partner for the launch and first deliveries of the all-new G700. We look forward to growing their fleet in the months ahead.”
Qatar Executive said it expects an additional eight G700s to be delivered in the near future, with two more set to arrive within weeks.
The new G700 fleet will enter full commercial service in June 2024.
The Qatar Executive G700 will be on display at the upcoming 2024 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2024), Europe’s premier on-demand aviation and advanced air mobility event, which will take place in Geneva, Switzerland from May 28-30, 2024.
