Empire Aviation Group adds Gulfstream G650 jet to its fleet

The G650 is a fast, long range business jet and will be based at Dubai International, from where EAG will manage and operate the aircraft on behalf of the owner, for whom the company managed the entire aircraft acquisition process. EAG has a second G650 on order and due for delivery by mid-2016. 

The Gulfstream G650is a large cabin, Rolls-Royce powered business jet with a long-range cruisespeed of Mach 0.85 and a range of 7,000 nautical miles/12,964 kilometers (nonstop) with eight passengers and four crew – performance enabled by an innovative wing design. The G650 can be configured for up to 18 passengers and offers the comforts of a wide cabin with large panoramic windows and low cabin pressure, and a bundle of inflight technology including broadband internet to keep passengers connected, informed and entertained, whilst putting them in control of the environment through a cabin management system. Advanced cockpit technology helps pilots improve aircraft performance. 

Steve Hartley, executive director of Empire Aviation Group, said: “The G650 really is the current state-of-the-art in business jets and we are delighted to add this exceptional aircraft to our managed fleet, operating out of Dubai International - we believe it is the first G650 in the GCC. It has impressed us enormously with its overall performance - speed, quietness, comfort, range and operating economy. EAG managed the whole acquisition process on behalf of the owner including the exterior and interior selection and pre-delivery inspections, and also recruited the crew. This is a testament to the level of trust and confidence that owners have in our team. We have also revised our own operating and flight planning systems to allow for the outstanding range and speed of this aircraft. We look forward to receiving our second G650 in 2016.”
