The biennial show was officially inaugurated by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum, president of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, chairman and CEO of Emirates Group and Chairman of Dubai Airports, who also visited Qatar Executive’s booth during his tour of the show.
Qatar Executive’s Bombardier Global 5000 Vision attracted many visitors during the three-day show, all of whom were given the opportunity to see the elegant aircraft interiors and refined cabin features of this technologically-advanced aircraft.
Qatar Executive executive vice-president, David Edwards, said, “Qatar Executive continues to go from strength to strength and MEBA is a great opportunity for us to showcase our rapidly expanding fleet and demonstrate our industry leading offerings to partners and customers alike.”
The Global 5000 jet combines luxury and unsurpassed performance, and features one of the widest and most spacious cabin interiors in the world of super-large business jets. Able to fly non-stop from Doha to destinations such as Tokyo, the aircraft offers high levels of comfort through its two-cabin configuration and allows for seven passengers to sleep comfortably.
The three-day event allowed Qatar Executive to showcase its growing business aviation service portfolio and raise interest for its new General Aviation Terminal (FBO), which is currently being constructed at the new Hamad International Airport and is set to open in the first half of 2015.
Apart from strengthening relations with customers, brokers and suppliers and establishing new business relationships, the Qatar Executive team, used the show to reinforce the ground-breaking announcement recently made by the company to purchase up to 20 Gulfstream aircraft, including the manufacturer’s all-new G500 and the G650ER.
Since its inception just five years ago, Qatar Executive has seen rapid growth and is currently flying a top-notch fleet of eight business jets, which can reach most destinations in the world non-stop.
