The aircraft was inaugurated by Qatar’s minister of transportation, Jassim Al Sulaiti; and Qatar Airways Group chief executive, Akbar Al Baker.

Al Baker said: “We are delighted to reveal the Gulfstream G650ER here at the Bahrain International Airshow. It is with enormous pride that we welcome the industry’s most advanced business jet into our fleet. We look forward to offering our valued and discerning customers the opportunity to experience this new-generation aircraft, the next time they fly with Qatar Executive.”

It was the first time the jet has been showcased to the public since it was handed over to Qatar Executive by Gulfstream at its headquarters in Savannah in December 2015. This aircraft is the first of an order by Qatar Executive for up to 30 business jets, including its all-new G500 and G600, for which the airline is the global launch customer.
