Ted Button to Lead Qatar Airways’ New Corporate Jet Subsidiary - Qatar Executive

Qatar Airways has appointed Ted Button as Senior Vice-President of its new corporate jet subsidiary Qatar Executive.

Button, a veteran of the aviation industry, has more than 25 years experience in jet aircraft management in the United States and over 30 years as a professional pilot.

He takes charge of the new subsidiary, which will begin operating with an initial fleet of three Bombardier corporate jets next month, based in Doha, capital of the State of Qatar.

Button joins the company from New Jersey-based ProFlite, an aircraft charter and management company, where he was President and Director of Operations from 2006 until recently.

Button said, “The Middle East is underserved in the corporate aircraft segment, and by utilising the Five Star service of Qatar Airways as a model to build a new corporate jet venture is, I believe, the right way forward to capitalise on this key market segment.”

Button will be responsible for the entire operation of the corporate jet subsidiary, which will comprise two new Bombardier Challenger 605 aircraft, due to be delivered later this month. They will join a recently-delivered Bombardier Challenger 300 aircraft to Qatar Executive.
