ExecuJet Middle East Receives Top Award

ExecuJet Middle East has received the Aviation Business Award 2011 as best business aviation operator in the region, at the bi-annual Dubai Airshow.

The show has established itself as a celebration of achievements within the Middle East aerospace industry over the past 12 months.

The Aviation Business Awards 2011 ceremony included 15 categories in total, covering the airline, airport and cargo sectors, along with supporting niches.

This award marks the second recognition for ExecuJet Middle East this year, with their maintenance division being awarded with the Bombardier Authorised Service Facility (ASF) Excellence Award prior to the Dubai Airshow. 

ExecuJet SA Upgrades Passenger Lounge

ExecuJet South Africa have unveiled their newly refurbished VIP Passenger Lounge at the company’s Lanseria Fixed-Based Operation, to the north-west of Johannesburg.

The development of the new lounge is aimed at enhancing passenger and pilot comfort. The refurbishments at the facility include the reception area, VIP Passenger Lounge, crew lounge and restrooms, as well as the upgrading of signage.

Further to that, during the launch cocktail function last month, clients and media were also introduced to the new addition to the company’s charter fleet – a  Global Express XRS intercontinental wide-body jet.

ExecuJet Launches Special Charter Packages

An increased charter demand for the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand has seen ExecuJet Australasia, in cooperation with travel company Quintessentially, launch special packages that allow ‘time poor’ rugby supporters to still be at the heart of the action.

Packages include flying by private jet from any one of Australia’s major cities into the choice of three destinations - Auckland, Queenstown or Wellington, on the day of the match, being transferred to and from the stadium, before a chartered flight home after the game.

ExecuJet Australasia has already seen an increase in normal charter activity and demand of up to 35%.  The airline has secured a number of charters to the various games on their heavy jet fleet, with one client booking a Falcon 900C for the entire month of October to ensure that he and his guests get to both semi-finals and the final.

In November 2010, ExecuJet was issued with a New Zealand Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) from the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority, allowing the company to commence base aircraft operations in the country.

The ExecuJet Aviation Group, which manages 150 business jets worldwide, has operations in six regions – Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.
