ADAE 2013: Qatar Executive exhibits commitment to MENA market

Qatar Airways' private jet charter division Qatar Executive will be exhibiting at the Abu Dhabi Air Expo (ADAE) next week (5-7 March), demonstrating its commitment to the vibrant Middle East and North Africa (MENA) business aviation market.

The three-day event will be held for the second consecutive year, taking place at Al Bateen Executive Airport – the first dedicated business jet airport in the Middle East and North Africa.

Qatar Executive will be showcasing its Bombardier Global 5000 (above) on static display, giving visitors the opportunity to see the luxurious interiors of its popular jet, which features the widest and most spacious cabin among super-large business jets flying today.

Qatar Airways chief executive officer Akbar Al Baker commented: “The Abu Dhabi Air Expo is the perfect platform to present visitors our aircraft and provide them with a taste of the refined in-flight experience they can expect when travelling with us.”

“We received a great response at last year’s show, and anticipate a substantial amount of business resulting from talks with customers and business partners as demand for private jet travel is continuously surging in the Gulf and the Middle East.”

Qatar Executive, awarded the Best Business Aviation Operator in 2012 by the Dubai-based magazine Aviation Business Middle East, has established itself as a major aircraft charter operator not just in the Middle East, but also in Russia and CIS nations, as well as Europe and Africa.

Covering business jets, helicopters and related services, the Abu Dhabi Air Expo is expected to draw over 10,000 visitors and major aviation players from across the Gulf region, Levant, North Africa and, as far afield as Asia and South Africa.

The Bombardier Global 5000 on static display is part of Qatar Executive’s wholly-owned Bombardier fleet of six long-range business jets.
