Qatar Executive, the corporate jet subsidiary of Qatar Airways Group, continues to set the bar high in business aviation by delivering unparalleled customer service and maintaining a fleet that is both young and state-of-the-art. In a move that underscores this commitment, Qatar Executive recently added the much-anticipated Gulfstream G700 to its fleet, showcasing it in a spectacular reveal event in the month of May, 2024.

The next-generation Gulfstream G700, which received FAA certification less than a month ago, has officially joined the Qatar Executive fleet, with the first two aircraft already delivered to customers and more on the way.

As the demand for top-tier private jets climbs, the overall customer experience remains crucial. Qatar Executive not only prides itself on having one of the youngest fleets in the industry but is also renowned for its exemplary customer service from booking to disembarkation.

The Gulfstream G700 made its grand revelation in Doha at an exclusive event at Hamad International Airport. Qatar Executive is currently the only international operator offering the ultra-modern G700 on a private charter basis and was the first Gulfstream customer to receive this aircraft.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, stated, “We welcome the industry’s highest performance ultra-long-range business jet, Gulfstream G700 aircraft to the Qatar Executive fleet. We are proud to enhance our existing fleet of 15 Gulfstream G650ER aircraft to include the pinnacle of business aviation excellence and look forward to seeing our guests on board soon to experience this technologically advanced aircraft.”

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, stated, “Today we welcome the industry’s highest performance ultralong-range business jet, Gulfstream G700 aircraft to the Qatar Executive fleet.”

The G700 represents the future of private air travel, offering an exceptional flying experience with unmatched design, technology, comfort, and style. The aircraft features a spacious passenger cabin with four distinct living areas, including a private rear stateroom with a fixed bed, as highlighted by Qatar Executive.

The new G700 was prominently displayed at the 2024 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland, Europe’s premier on-demand aviation and advanced air mobility event. Notably, it was the only jet at EBACE not fenced off, allowing attendees to view it up close.

Powered by Rolls-Royce’s Pearl 700 engines, the G700 can reach speeds of Mach 0.925 (709 mph) and has a range of 8,630 miles, making it one of the farthest-reaching jets in the industry. The enhanced flight vision system, located beneath the cockpit window, aids pilots in landing under low-visibility conditions.

Al-Meer also commented, “Ultimate luxury, highest levels of personalised service and comfort, privacy and convenience through flexible and individual travel to any place in the world. Today, Qatar Executive offers its most discerning passengers the epitome in elite luxury travel. As part of the Qatar Airways Group, Qatar Executive offers the exclusivity and comfort of a private jet and the global expertise and proven track record of an award-winning five-star airline.”

Qatar Executive has officially welcomed the delivery of four Gulfstream G700 aircraft, making it the exclusive commercial operator of the aircraft worldwide. The company expects an additional six G700s to be delivered soon. The new G700 fleet is ready to enter full commercial service in the second half of the year, and Qatar Executive is already receiving advance interest from clients wishing to charter the aircraft.

Gulfstream President Mark Burns remarked, “Qatar Executive has been a valued Gulfstream customer for nearly 10 years. We are honored to have them as our international partner for the launch and first deliveries of the allnew G700. We look forward to growing their fleet in the months ahead.”

ELEVATING PASSENGER EXPERIENCE

Qatar Executive consistently upholds one of the highest standards of service in the industry. Coupled with top-tier personalised service and excellence in operational safety and management, the addition of the G700 to Qatar Executive’s already ultra-modern fleet underscores the company’s relentless pursuit of excellence.

This high standard of service is rooted in extensive industry experience. As the private jet charter division of the esteemed and award-winning Qatar Airways, Qatar Executive has always excelled in creating exceptional private jet experiences. Since its inception in 2009, Qatar Executive has grown steadily to become one of the world’s leading charter companies, expanding its reach while maintaining high-quality service for its loyal clientele.

Understanding the value of time for private jet travelers, QE and Gulfstream prioritise flexibility from the initial inquiry. Available 24/7, their services cater to clients worldwide, regardless of time zone. With extensive experience serving C-Suite and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, Qatar Executive builds efficient relationships with personal assistants and agents. Passengers can specify their preferred departure and destination points, often selecting lesser-known airports to save valuable travel time. Qatar Executive’s commitment to flexibility extends to every aspect of the journey, ensuring streamlined boarding, accommodating unusual flight times, and reaching uncommon destinations, all designed to maximise the customer’s time efficiently. Gulfstream G700’s range further enhances time savings. Fewer flight hours mean longer intervals between scheduled maintenance visits, higher potential aircraft value, and fresher crews.

As private jet travel becomes more mainstream, frequent flyers have higher expectations. Beyond efficiency, the ability to personalise every detail is a significant attraction. Qatar Executive allows passengers to tailor their flights extensively, making the aircraft feel like home. Additionally, the G700 comes handy in making it more customised and convenient for the customers for instance the aircraft can comfortably accommodate up to 19 passengers and provide sleeping arrangements for up to 13.

Qatar Executive excels in postflight service by building strong relationships with loyal customers. Crew members take note of passengers’ preferences, ensuring future flights are tailored to their liking without needing to ask. This personalised approach streamlines the booking process and enhances the overall experience.

The bespoke cabins of the G700 have been meticulously crafted to meet the highest standards of Qatar Executive’s most discerning customers. The passenger experience is enhanced by a revolutionary lighting system, the industry’s lowest cabin pressure altitude, and natural lighting through 20 windows. The G700’s cabin can be pressurised to 2,916 feet, the lowest altitude of any business jet, reducing the effects of fatigue and jet lag. Qatar Executive describes the cabin as “whisper-quiet,” thanks in part to the flush design of the overwing emergency exit. Additionally, the G700 offers 100 per cent fresh air replenished every 2-3 minutes and an ionising system for the cabin air, providing the highest air quality possible in a business jet, ensuring passengers arrive more refreshed than with any other aircraft type.

Al-Meer further added, “With an ultra-modern fleet, Qatar Executive provides a service using only the most advanced business jets, specialising in long and ultra-long range travel. Each aircraft is equipped with cutting-edge technologies, exceptional facilities, and the finest materials and fittings, coupled with the ultimate in luxury and sophisticated service. At Qatar Executive, we are confident that with this exceptional way of flying, tailored to your requirements, we will consistently exceed your expectations whenever you choose to fly with us.”

The G700 represents the future of private air travel, offering a superior flying experience with unrivaled design, technology, comfort, and style. The aircraft features an exceptionally spacious passenger cabin with four distinct living areas, including a dedicated private rear stateroom with a permanent fixed bed.

Qatar Executive combined with Gulfstream G700 promises to be a combination that the business aviation customers will love to have.
