Qatar Executive has taken delivery of a second
brand new Gulfstream G650ER.
In time for the upcoming busy spring and
summer season Qatar Executive now has two luxurious Gulfstream
G650ER aircraft ready for charter to meet the requirements of its
affluent clientele.
Qatar Executive’s G650ER aircraft can easily fly
non-stop from the Middle East to North America or from
destinations in Asia to Africa.
“We are delighted to welcome a second
Gulfstream G650ER to our expanding private jet fleet, and to be
able to provide our clients with more flexibility, and an enhanced
product portfolio,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr.
Akbar Al Baker. “The G650ER
allows our customers to reach the main business centres around the
world in the shortest possible time, to travel in superior
comfort, and to take more luggage along than on other jets in this
category.”
Qatar Executive received its first G650ER in
December 2015, following an order for up to 30 new market-leading
business jets, including Gulfstream’s all-new G500 and G600, for
which Qatar Executive is the global launch customer.
Qatar
Executive’s second Gulfstream G650ER features an identical cabin
interior as the first G650ER, which was delivered at the end of
last year.
The spacious state-of-the-art aircraft has a two-cabin
configuration and seats up to 13 passengers. Seats convert into
fully-flat beds, so that seven guests can easily sleep on board,
and also provides a three-seat divan in the jet’s aft cabin.
The G650ER’s cabin is not only comfortable but contains the
most advanced technology including satellite communications,
high-speed internet, wireless local area network and Gulfstream’s
Cabin Management System, which allows passengers to use their own
personal electronic devices to control audio, video, lighting,
temperature, window shades and other cabin functions.
The
interior cabin has 16 panoramic windows, all perfectly positioned so that every passenger
has their own window.
Further stand-out features of the
Gulfstream G650 are the fact that it has the lowest equivalent
cabin altitude of any business jet and the cabin air is
replenished 100% every two minutes.
The G650ER can
travel 7,500 nm/13,890 km at Mach 0.85 and 6,400 nm/11,853 km at
Mach 0.90 – so customers can travel at 90% of the speed of
sound.
The G650ER complements Qatar Executive’s existing
long-range fleet of one Gulfstream G650ER and eight modern
Bombardier aircraft, including three Challenger 605s, four Global
5000s, a Global XRS, and a 40-seat Airbus A319 All-Premium Class
aircraft, all available for worldwide charter.
