Dubai-based Emirates has announced the launch of its new on-demand regional charter service using a Phenom 100 executive jet. Covering the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the new service will be operated from Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport.
The aircraft will seat up to four passengers, who will each have a luggage allowance of one medium-size (15kg max) bag and a small carry-on bag. The principal advantages of this charter service include a high level of flexibility, with a hassle-free ground experience.
In Dubai, customers can expect Emirates Chauffeur Drive Services to transport them to the airport in Dubai, and VIP treatment upon arrival with a dedicated representative to fully support them throughout the airport journey, guaranteeing minimal pre-flight wait times. At their destination, customers will benefit from a fast on-ground escorted arrival and quick VIP clearance at customs and immigration provided by private terminal service partners. They will also have access to the private terminal lounge upon arrival.
The Gulf carrier also operates Emirates Executive, a luxuriously equipped and fully customised Airbus ACJ319 business jet which can accommodate up to 19 guests, providing a global service from any chosen airport of departure. Emirates is one of two flag-carrying airlines of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) the other being Etihad.
