In an exclusive event at the world’s best airport, Hamad International Airport, the newly delivered Gulfstream G700 was premiered to guests and media during a spectacular light show reveal

Doha, Qatar – Qatar Executive (QE), a subsidiary of Qatar Airways Group, has officially welcomed the delivery of two new Gulfstream G700 aircraft to the fleet, becoming the worldwide exclusive commercial operator of the aircraft. 

The aircraft was revealed in a spectacular light show display in a private airside event at Hamad International Airport, recently voted the best airport in the world for the third time.

Qatar Executive is the first carrier to offer the Gulfstream G700 to charter customers, continuing to provide an ultra-modern fleet with the ultimate in aircraft capabilities, luxury and performance. 

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer said: “Today 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.”

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

The bespoke cabins have been designed and meticulously crafted to meet Qatar Executive’s most discerning customers’ standards. The passenger experience has been augmented to include a revolutionary lighting system, the industry’s lowest cabin pressure altitude and natural lighting through 20 windows. 

The G700 also prioritises passengers’ comfort with a whisper-quiet cabin, along with 100 percent fresh air replenished every 2-3 minutes, and an ionizing system for the cabin air providing the highest air quality possible today in a business jet. This ensures they arrive more refreshed than with any other aircraft type.

Combined with the ultimate in personalised service, and superiority in operational safety & management, the addition of the G700 to Qatar Executive’s already ultra-modern-fleet is testament to Qatar Executive’s consistent drive to deliver excellence. 

Qatar Executive expects an additional eight G700’s to be delivered in the near future, with two already delivered and two more due to delivery within weeks. The new G700 fleet will enter full commercial service in June, and QE is already taking advance expressions of interest from clients to charter the new aircraft.
