Royal Jet takes delivery of second Global 5000

Acting president and CEO, Capt. Patrick Gordon, said, “Our first Bombardier Global 5000 has been in service for the past two months and is already extremely popular with our clients. Having a second jet available will help us to meet the needs of Royal Jet’s increasing demand from clients and the growing business aviation industry in the Middle East. The regional corporate market is steadily growing and instead of flying with a commercial airline, in many instances it is a cheaper alternative to charter a private jet – such as the Global 5000 – for journeys within the region and further afield.”
The Bombardier Global 5000 business jet can carry up to 12 guests and provides more high-comfort living and working area than any of its peers. The cabin can also be configured to sleep seven guests.
The company is evaluating other airline manufacturers and Royal Jet is renewing its collaboration with Boeing and will take delivery of two new Boeing business jets in September and December 2015.
Aircraft from Airbus and Gulfstream will be considered as part of Royal Jet’s fleet replacement and expansion programme that will increase the fleet to 20 aircraft by the year 2020 at a cost of US $700 million.
Royal Jet has also recently taken delivery of a Bombardier Learjet 60 XR business jet in October 2014.
