Emirates has established a luxury private jet service, Emirates Executive, within which it will use its 'ultra-spacious' Airbus A319.

There are two main zones in the jet, the first being a wide dining and executive lounge at the front of the aircraft designed to seat up to 12 passengers, and the second area comprising 10 private suites, each featuring a lie flat seat and an hd lcd screen.

The suites are complemented by a large and elegant shower spa, equipped with a full-height shower and underfloor heating. The aircraft is configured for up to 19 passengers and allows for diverse travel options for private customers and corporations. The service can now be accessed online.

“Emirates Executive elevates the high standards and quality that our customers have come to expect, with the flexibility and luxury that can only be offered by a private chartered flight,” says divisional senior vp Adnan Kazim. “We have seen an increasing demand in the private travel segment, especially in the Middle East and Europe, as well as in markets such as India, Russia and China, and with Emirates Executive and the launch of its website, we are looking to tap into this niche market with the high quality of service and attention to detail associated with Emirates.”
