[HD video below] Qatar Executive is aiming to grow its
international footprint by targeting corporations and the
fast-growing number of high-net-worth individuals in Asia.
Asia, predominantly China, is widely regarded as
one of the fastest growing markets for business jet services
today.
"We see great potential in Asia for our
charter services among business travellers and private individuals
alike, said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr.
Akbar Al Baker. "As Asian corporations continue to expand
their businesses, they are looking for the most convenient and
efficient means of travel to spur their international corporate
growth. The Qatar Executive fleet of ultra and long-range
business jets hence provide them with a key transportation means
and also greater flexibility in meeting their regional and global
business travel needs, no matter how complex they are."
To meet the requirements of the new target market, Qatar
Executive has, adjusted its inflight experience to match the taste
of the Asian executive and private traveller. For example,
customers can request to be served by Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking VIP cabin attendants, who are familiar with
local customs and etiquette.
On board Qatar
Executive's fleet, guests can enjoy local
cuisine, which they can personally choose prior to the flight or
create a menu individually selected for
each guest.
Executive Vice President of Qatar Executive, David Edwards,
said, "The Asian travelling elite expects nothing less than the best aircraft in terms of range, performance and technology,
combined with luxurious cabin design and refined personalised
service. At Qatar Executive we offer all of this and the customer
response towards our product has been extremely positive since we
started operating in the region."
Today, Qatar Executive
has Bombardier Global 5000
aircraft stationed in Hong Kong and Macau. From there, the operator
also serves neighbouring destinations such as
Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.
The
elegant business jet is wholly-owned by Qatar Airways, allowing
for immediate bookings to be made, without customers having to
wait for owner approvals as it is often the case with managed
aircraft.
The Global 5000 jet is able to fly
non-stop from Hong Kong to Djibouti or from Jakarta to
destinations such as Dubai or Mombasa and offers a two-cabin configuration which allows for seven
passengers to sleep comfortably.
Since its
inception almost six years ago, Qatar Executive has seen rapid
growth and is currently flying a fleet of eight business
jets, which can reach most destinations in the world non-stop.
Recently Qatar Executive made the
ground-breaking announcement to purchase up to 20 Gulfstream
aircraft, including the manufacturer's all-new G500 and the
G650ER.
In addition, Qatar Executive received a 40-seat Airbus
A319 All-Premium Class aircraft in February, which is also
available for worldwide charter for larger groups.
