Qatar Executive, the private jet charter division of Qatar Airways, has taken delivery of two additional Gulfstream G700 aircraft, increasing its fleet of G700s to six. This latest delivery, which was completed using sustainable aviation fuel, forms part of an ongoing collaboration between Qatar Executive and Gulfstream Aerospace. The two aircraft are among a series of new G700s planned for delivery to Qatar Executive, with four more expected to arrive in the coming years.

Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, CEO of Qatar Airways Group, says of the expansion: “We are pleased to continue growing our fleet with the Gulfstream G700, which provides an exceptional experience for our clients. These aircraft further reinforce Qatar Executive’s commitment to offering high-performance, long-range aircraft for private air travel.”

The Gulfstream G700 features a spacious cabin designed for comfort, offering 100% fresh air and natural light through 20 panoramic oval windows. The aircraft is capable of covering up to 7,750 nautical miles at a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 and has set more than 65 city-pair speed records. It is certified by both the FAA and EASA and has received recent validations from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia.
