RoyalJet announces new addition to five-star fleet

RoyalJet, an award-winning global leader in premium private aviation based in Abu Dhabi, has added yet another Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) to its fleet, taking the total number of BBJs to 13. The announcement was made on the sidelines of the three-day Abu Dhabi Air Expo 2022, the only dedicated general and business aviation exhibition in the Middle East, which was held at the Al Bateen Executive Airport in November. RoyalJet had also acquired a BBJ early this year, which made it the world’s largest BBJ operator in the world.

The latest BBJ boasts 19 passenger VVIP interior with a forward crew rest area, a master bedroom with a private lavatory and shower, and a first-class lounge. Finished with custom-made materials and state-of-the-art design configuration, the BBJ is designed for the best functionality and maximum comfort.

The first-class lounge area is equipped with a custom liner system, CMS-controlled electric window shades, VIP-style custom carpet, LED reading, table lights and wash lighting with customised mood presets among others. It also has a 32-inch monitor, cabinets with two pullout tables on each side, hanging storage and active emergency exits on both sides.

The master bedroom is fitted with CMS-controlled electric window shades, VIP-style custom carpet, wash lighting and a 42-inch monitor. There’s also under-bed storage, a nightstand with storage and a full-height closet with storage among others. In the rear of the plane is the master lavatory complete with a rectangular shower.

RoyalJet’s CEO Mohammed Husain Ahmed expressed his delight at the purchase of the new aircraft. He said: “Over all of last year, demand exceeded supply in the premium aviation industry across the region. The overall health of the global private jet market has been going strong, and this growth is expected to reach greater heights as we move into a very busy period packed with events and conferences. The UAE’s leadership has committed itself to supporting tourism and global trade by investing in building a strong logistics sector, and we also have the FIFA World Cup happening in Qatar this year, due to which we have seen a surge in the demand to fly across the GCC. In line with the UAE leadership’s vision, we are actively looking to expand our operations to serve our premium clientele. Adding the new BBJ is a step in that direction.”
