Qatar Airways' charter service has become the launch customer for Gulfstream Aerospace and its Gulfstream G700 aircraft.
Qatar Executive latest agreement with Gulfstream is for the purchase of 10 G700 aircraft in addition to its recently announced orders of additional all-new Gulfstream G500 and high-performing G650ER aircraft.
Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream, commented: “Qatar Executive demonstrated their confidence in Gulfstream when they committed as international launch customer for the G500, which is in service with them now alongside the G650ER.
“We are grateful they have chosen to continue growing their Gulfstream fleet with our new flagship G700 and look forward to their customers travelling in the utmost comfort on the largest business jet in the industry.”
Eleven Gulfstream aircraft are currently in service with Qatar Executive, including six G650ERs and five G500s. The executive charter service is the world’s largest commercial operator of the G650ER and the first commercial charter operator of the G500.
Gulfstream has introduced the G700 as the industry’s new flagship. It boasts business aviation’s largest cabin and can fly farther, faster than any other competitor in the business-jet industry, the company said in a statement.
