Emirates Executive has invested in an ACJ319 which it will be offering for charter. The operator is looking to offer a luxurious service, tailored to the 'dynamic needs' of its client base and says: “We are constantly looking to innovate and further develop our products and services, and there is a growing market for luxury and customised travel with inherent flexibility.

“Our intention is to cater to this niche market with a product that both elevates and is reflective of the Emirates' quality and high standards.”

The large cabin of the ACJ was a significant selling point for the operator, and it has also been pleased with the sizeable baggage bay. “We have a long-standing relationship with Airbus, and its corporate jet centre has customised the ACJ for us. It was a natural partnership to enter into and we are very pleased with the outcome.”

Feedback on the service has been very positive and Emirates is already booking repeat business.

The A319CJ makes most destinations across the globe accessible, including destinations that are not part of the regular network. It is capable of an eight to nine-hour non-stop flight.
