NasJet is recognised as the largest private aviation operator in the Middle East by numbers of aircraft with its current fleet of 65 fixed-wing aircraft currently under management and flight support. The additional aircraft will be operated using NasJet’s significant infrastructure, including 120 full-time crew and maintenance teams based in the region.
“We are pleased the owners have selected NasJet, a decision which was based on our depth of international and regional aircraft management experience, which spans 14-years. We were also able to demonstrate significant cost saving benefits on large operational expenses including fuel, insurance, maintenance and crew training”, commented chief operating officer Capt. Khalid Al Hamdan.
According to the Riyadh-based company BBJ and Gulfstream are currently the most popular aircraft types in the Middle East. NasJet manages and flight supports 5 BBJ’s and has the largest fleet of Gulfstreams in the region.
“At this echelon of aircraft type, a supreme level of safety, service and professionalism is a given. This is only achievable, if you have the in-house capability to deal with the unexpected day-to-day issues, be able to proactively manage the operating costs and have valuable experience in operating VIP aircraft in extreme climates”, said Nasjet's executive director project management Capt. Mohammed Al Gabbas.
