Elite Jets reports client delight with G450 luxury
Dubai-based Elite Jets has brought a second new G450 into charter operation.

Dubai-based Elite Jets has brought a second new G450 into charter operation. Ammar Balkar, president and ceo, says: "Just like our first G450, this aircraft arrived straight from the US manufacturing plant and had to undergo JAR-OPS modification to meet the demands of the regional market."

He says the 14-seat G450 is a one-of-a-kind business jet that exemplifies excellence in travel. "It has a next generation large cabin with great intercontinental range and gives clients a luxurious experience through its extra added facilities and superb amenities." Balkar says he is extremely pleased with both G450s. "Our clients truly enjoy with great pleasure their travel experience."

Balkar points out that, with up to six passengers onboard, the G450 can travel up to 10+ hours, non-stop, from Dubai to destinations as far as Tokyo, Helsinki, Dakar or Cape Town. "This allows passengers to comfortably traverse both the Atlantic and Pacific, which makes the aircraft ideal for southern hemisphere destinations."

Superior in-flight catering, he says, is made possible by facilities such as the full service galley with bar and wet sink, equipped with luxury china, silver and crystal table-ware, microwave oven and coffee and Espresso maker.

Other features include a private fully enclosed aft lavatory with a 17" LCD monitor and 115V/60Hz power outlet. "Further fleet expansions are coming up very soon," Balkar says.
