ExecuJet Middle East adds two new Challenger 605s to its managed fleet
Monday 28th June, 2010
ExecuJet Middle East has recently added two new Challenger 605s to its managed fleet. Further aircraft are expected to join the fleet over the coming months, taking the total number to well over 20 aircraft.
Managing Director Middle East, Mike Berry, commented “ExecuJet has the ability to supply a seamless integrated executive travel solution with management, maintenance, FBO, dispatch, hangarage and other services all under one roof. The services are handled by a dedicated and highly experienced customer focused team.” Berry further commented that they have seen a strong increase in demand for wide bodied aircraft on the charter market lately which has in turn led to record numbers of movements in their Dubai FBO over recent months, with figures continuing to increase.
ExecuJet Middle East celebrated its 10 year anniversary at last year’s Dubai Airshow and reported there has been an increase across many service areas, including maintenance, FBO and charter. Last year, the maintenance division also obtained Angolan and Nigerian AMO approvals along with extending the Jordanian approval to cover both Challenger 604 and Challenger 601 aircraft.
ExecuJet currently has an FBO and maintenance facility located at Dubai International Airport and has further expressed interest in building on its Middle Eastern presence by looking at further developments within the region.
