NetJets Europe, pan-European business aviation company, is well-positioned to expand its operational footprint in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, said a top official.

The company also is aiming to target customers in the corporate sector as well as high net worth individuals, added Michael Graham, senior vice president, NetJets Europe, speaking the recently concluded Middle East Business Aviation (MEBA) exhibition in Dubai, UAE.

“The Middle Eastern market represents a fascinating proposition to us, especially as the region’s business aviation industry is projected to grow to $1.3 billion by 2020 – about double its value today. Our customers in the region have various requirements, and as a company we have developed turnkey offerings for various entities and individuals,” Graham said.

“For aircraft owners, NetJets offers a range of management services from our world renowned Executive Jet Management program. We also offer fractional ownership options to clients who wish to enjoy the satisfaction of owning a jet but need to remove themselves from the hassles of management and responsibilities of flight planning, crewing and training.”

In its participation at MEBA 2014, NetJets also showcased its new Signature Series Challenger 350 aircraft from Bombardier Business Aircraft. NetJets worked closely with Bombardier to build the Challenger 350 to its customers’ exacting specifications – from the custom cabin interior to the specific technical and performance characteristics.

The high performance aircraft has been designed as a transcontinental jet with a range of 6,093 km and over seven hours flight time while its outstanding runway performance gives access to even the most remote airports, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
