ExecuJet Middle East elevates global travel with ultra-long-range, high-performance fleet expansion
Dubai, UAE: As private aviation adapts to the rise of intercontinental lifestyles, increased mobility among ultra-high-net-worth individuals and a growing demand for next-generation aircraft, ExecuJet Middle East is expanding its managed fleet with a strategic, future-focused approach. This development underscores a broader industry shift toward sustainability, advanced technology and ownership models that offer greater flexibility and personalisation for a globally connected clientele.
Operating from its newly opened, state-of-the-art private jet terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), ExecuJet continues to redefine the region's private aviation landscape. The latest fleet expansion introduces some of the most advanced large-cabin aircraft on the market, including the Bombardier Global 7500, Global 6000, Global 5000, Challenger 650, Gulfstream G650ER, Dassault Falcon 7X, Falcon 8X and the Boeing Business Jet.
Leading the fleet is the Bombardier Global 7500, renowned for its unmatched blend of ultra-long-range performance, cutting-edge technology and refined in-flight experience. With a 7,700-nautical-mile range, the aircraft enables ExecuJet clients to fly non-stop from Dubai to virtually any global destination - including New York, Tokyo and Sydney - with complete privacy, comfort and control.
While most aircraft within the fleet are privately owned and not available for charter, the expansion strengthens ExecuJet's operational capabilities - enabling greater agility in crewing, enhanced support services and more tailored management solutions for aircraft owners across the region.
'As the demands of private aviation continue to evolve, our focus remains on delivering a seamless, intelligent and globally connected ownership experience,' said Khalid Al Hai, Board Member, ExecuJet Middle East. 'This fleet expansion represents not only a response to growing client needs but also a reflection of our long-term vision to set new benchmarks in operational excellence and personalised service.'
'This milestone reflects our commitment to shaping the future of private aviation through innovation and strategic growth,' said Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group. 'ExecuJet Middle East's fleet expansion is a strong step toward delivering advanced, tailored solutions for the next generation of jet owners.'
As part of its long-term strategy, ExecuJet Middle East aims to manage 30 aircraft by 2030, underpinned by continued investment in fleet optimisation technologies and the development of FBO and hangar infrastructure in key global locations.
This latest milestone reaffirms ExecuJet Middle East's commitment to delivering seamless, globally connected private aviation experiences tailored to the needs of today's UHNW individuals, corporate decision-makers and new-generation jet owners.

UAE: Some Indian expats 'lost over Dh1,400' as Nepal enforces strict travel rule
Some UAE residents have unexpectedly faced extra expenses — up to Dh1,400 — or spent precious holiday time in Nepal dealing with paperwork, due to newly enforced travel regulations. Recent travellers to Nepal are advising Indian residents in the UAE to be aware of the new, stricter travel rules. One such traveller, Dubai resident Manu Palerichal, faced a stressful situation during his recent Eid break trip to Nepal with his family. What was supposed to be a relaxing vacation quickly turned into a logistical headache. 'As soon as we landed in Nepal on Thursday, an immigration officer informed us that we need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Indian embassy when returning to the UAE,' he said. 'It caught us off guard because no one had informed us about this beforehand. We asked our fellow travellers if they had been told the same but no one else knew about it. They asked us to ignore the advice," he added. Manu, who works as the CEO of auditing firm CLA Emirates in Dubai, then decided to double-check with his travel agent. He learned that the NOC requirement had been strictly enforced recently due to concerns over system misuse, such as "human trafficking and tax evasion". However, by the time he received this information, Manu and his family had already traveled to Pokhara, nearly 200km from Kathmandu, where the Indian embassy is located. 'So, it was impossible for us to secure (the) NOC," he said. "We spent two days in Pokhara, anxiously wondering what to do if the embassy was closed on Saturday and Sunday. We even came up with alternate plans to return to Dubai in case we couldn't get the document," he added. According to Safeer Mohammed, general manager of Smart Travels, the NOC requirement has been in effect for a long time, but it has been very strictly enforced recently. "Authorities found people misusing the system, and that may have prompted this change," he explained. 'Instances of human trafficking and tax evasion were discovered and that may have been one of the reasons why the rule is now being enforced strictly." "We are aware that an existing rule has been very strictly enforced for the last few months," he noted. "We're advising all travellers to Nepal to have the NOC sorted to ensure a smooth journey.' 'Lost over Dh,1400' Dubai resident Thabseer Ahmed lost over Dh1,400 after being informed about the No Objection Certificate (NOC) requirement at the airport when he travelled to Nepal last month. "We found out about the NOC only at the airport (in Nepal) while heading back from our holiday," he said. All his friends traveling back to India had no issues while others travelling to the GCC countries were prevented from boarding their flights. 'We tried to get to the Indian embassy, but the flight was at 3am on a Sunday and no one was available to help us,' he recalled. 'A lot of documentation was also needed, none of which we could manage at that last minute. I tried booking my flight transiting through New Delhi but even that didn't work. You have to check out at India, collect your luggage and then check back in. So once I arrived in New Delhi, I had to book a new flight back to the UAE.' He said he lost over Dh1,400 in ticket prices due to this issue. 'My friend from Kuwait also lost the equivalent of almost Dh2,000 when he rebooked his tickets,' he said. 'My other friend from Qatar also lost money on rebooking.' Documents needed Manu said he returned to Kathmandu on Saturday with his family and then drove for 30 minutes to the embassy to get the NOC. 'Thankfully the embassy works through the weekend,' he said. 'I did not have to wait much but staff told me that there was a huge rush on Thursday and Friday with people having to wait hours for their documents.' To get the NOC, Manu said that he had to submit a passport-size photo, copies of passport and UAE residence visas, immigration stamp, air ticket, Emirates ID, and application form. He also had to pay 3,100 Nepali rupees for each family member, which amounted to over Dh300 for his four-member family. He said he was lucky enough to get to know the requirement ahead of time and warned other UAE residents to be careful when planning their trips. 'Since Nepal is just a short distance away, a lot of Indians from GCC countries plan short trips here,' he said. 'Travel agents must give clear directives about these new requirements to avoid complications.' Manu emphasised that while he was lucky to find out about the requirement ahead of time, many others might not be as fortunate. "Since Nepal is just a short distance away, many Indians from GCC plan short trips here," he said. 'Travel agents must give clear directives about these new requirements to avoid (unnecessary) complications.' Safeer also warned that UAE residents planning to visit India this summer should be aware of the updated regulations. 'Those traveling to Nepal and then going to India will not have any issue,' he said. 'However, those planning to return to the UAE via Nepal must have the NOC before travelling.'

Emiratis soak up Lebanon's food scene and culture after lifting of travel ban
After a four-year halt, the UAE travel ban to Lebanon was lifted in May, much to the joy of citizens from both sides. Emirati visitors have been quick to fly over, despite the recent unrest, as Lebanon prepares itself for what is hopes will be a busy summer season. Restaurants and bars have been booming in Beirut, with new creative venues opening almost weekly. New hotels are opening and Lebanon's famed summer festivals have announced exciting programmes of live music and performances from local and international artists. The cultural scene includes art exhibitions and a few new galleries. For Barjeel Art founder Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi, this was what drew him to make a long-overdue visit soon after the ban was lifted. 'It had been 14 years since I had been to Lebanon and in that time many cultural institutions opened,' Al Qassimi tells The National. 'I was keen to visit them. Beirut, despite all the conflict, remains a major cultural hub in the region. I visited the Sursock Museum, the National Museum of Beirut, AUB galleries and the Dalloul Art Foundation alongside a tour of Basel Dalloul's own private collection at his residence. 'I was waiting for the right moment and made sure I went in the first few days after the travel ban was lifted. I plan to visit more often because of all of the cultural institutions, collectors' homes, archives and galleries that I didn't get to see during my short visit.' In the past, Emiratis enjoyed spending summers in Lebanon for all the above reasons, combined with more temperate weather than at home and a short flight. Now that the travel ban has been lifted, they're eager to visit again. Lebanon's Ministry of Tourism is anticipating a strong summer, thanks to returning expats and regional tourists. A lot of effort has been put into strengthening the tourism sector. Amenities and facilities have been added to Beirut's airport; campaigns encouraging tourists to visit other cities and rural locations have been running; and guides and other institutions have been undergoing training. We are working to extend tourism throughout the year and in all regions Laura Lahoud, Lebanon's Minister of Tourism 'We deeply appreciate the UAE's initiative and look forward to welcoming back all Gulf visitors who consider Lebanon their second home and are vital to its tourism sector, with many having strong ties and properties here,' Lebanon's Minister of Tourism Laura Lahoud tells The National. 'The government aims to solidify this renewed trust and pave the way for a thriving tourism industry. 'It is important that visitors have the best experience from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave. We are also working to extend tourism throughout the year and in all regions, from the north to the south and the Beqaa Valley. 'We want visitors to benefit from everything Lebanon offers – from the sea and the mountains to the beautiful nature – so that they always return.' The Phoenicia, one of the capital's oldest and grandest hotels, reopened in late 2022 after repairs from the 2020 Beirut Port blast. It has slowly been revamping its facilities, including the spa and restaurants. Amethyst, the hotel's poolside lounge, will reopen this month. 'We have observed a modest uptick in inquiries and bookings from the UAE market, particularly among leisure and corporate travellers,' says general manager Mathieu Greppo. 'Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the summer season. Continued stability and positive developments in regional relations would further bolster this outlook.' This month The View Hotel opened as an annex to the iconic historic shell of the former St George Hotel on the marina. A number of other restaurants, bars and coffee shops have opened, from high-end sophisticated experiences such as Mimi in Achrafieh to low-key burger joints like Slot in Gemmayzeh. Mimi owners Yasmina and Elissa Yared feel now is a good time to open their restaurant because people are steadily reinvesting in the country. Their Mediterranean-menu and lively atmosphere is already drawing in excited patrons. 'We always see that there is potential to invest here, as people love to go out and they're very positive despite all the problems,' Yasmina tells The National. 'The lifting of the ban is great news for the food and beverage sector. 'For the past five years, after the explosion and the economic problems, more than 70 per cent of institutions had to close and now people are reinvesting and opening. 'When we have more people coming from abroad it will maybe make it easier than before. The projection is positive, so we're hopeful.'
