Al Jaber Aviation Takes Delivery of A318 Elite

Al Jaber Aviation (AJA) has become the first customer in the Middle East to offer an Airbus aircraft for charter flights, following the delivery of its first A318 Elite.

The company has a further three A318 Elites and two Airbus Corporate Jetliners (ACJs) on order, which will make it the largest operator of Airbus corporate jets in the region.

“We aim to provide VVIP customers with the ultimate in comfort, space, and service, and because the A318 Elite and Airbus ACJ have the widest and tallest cabins of any business jet, can now deliver it,” said Al Jaber Group Chief Executive Officer Mohammed Al Jaber. “The Al Jaber Group’s success in construction, shipping and logistics has been built on quality, and AJA is now extending this into the air.”

“The privacy, prestige and productivity of corporate jets is well understood in the Middle East, where there is a strong and growing demand for VVIP charter flights that AJA is well placed to satisfy,” said Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers, John Leahy. “And if you can offer a better product, which is what AJA is now able to do with the Airbus A318 Elite, you give your business model the best chance of success.”

AJA’s A318 Elite is able to welcome business or family groups of up to 19 passengers, allowing larger groups to travel together than would have been possible in traditional business jets – as well as providing better value for money.

It features the comfortable and spacious seating found in well appointed offices and homes, offering a fresher and more attractive way to fly for business or pleasure. The A318 Elite also has a private office that converts to a bedroom, large bathrooms, and plenty of space for luggage.
