Qatar Executive today launched a new Diamond Agreement program that allows customers to pre-purchase flight time at fixed-hourly rates on its long- and ultra-long-range business jets. The Doha-based charter operator has a fleet of 18 aircraft that includes Bombardier Global 5000s and Gulfstream G500s and G650ERs.

While there are no membership fees under the Diamond program, customers must purchase a minimum of 50 hours of flight time to be eligible for the fixed charter rates, which cover both flight hours and taxi time. Designed by Qatar Executive to simplify private jet travel, the pre-purchased hours have no minimum annual usage and no maximum carry-over, making the program flexible. Qatar Executive also offers guaranteed availability for reservations booked 72 hours in advance.

Mark Hardman, Qatar Executive’s acting executive v-p, said the new Diamond program meets the needs of both corporate and private clients. “The program offers the ultimate in flexibility at a fixed price,” he added. “Furthermore, we understand that as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, clients are looking for versatile, high-quality services from a reputable and financially secure operator.”
