Content Body

Qatar Airways president Akbar Al Baker announced on Monday at the 2016 Farnborough International Airshow that the airline’s Qatar Executive division has placed an order for three more ultra-long-range Gulfstream G650ERs. They will join the three already in service, starting with the first delivery early next year.


These three aircraft are part of a May 15 agreement from Qatar Executive for up to 30 Gulfstreams, including examples of the in-development G500 and G600, for which Qatar is one of the launch customers. Al Baker and Gulfstream president and CEO Mark Burns said that, when fulfilled, the agreement will make Qatar Executive the largest operator of G650s in the world.


According to Al Baker, Qatar Executive’s fleet will migrate to an all-Gulfstream fleet as it sells some of its Bombardier Challengers and converts others to air-ambulance configuration.
