Falcon Luxe to add 40 aircraft to its private jet fleet
UAE-based private jet operator Falcon Luxe will expand its service with the addition of 40 aircraft to its fleet by end of 2026, increasing the fleet size to more than 50 private jets in operation.
Falcon Luxe now operates a diversified modern private jet fleet comprising 12 aircraft. The investment and expansion of the Falcon Luxe fleet has been critical in meeting demand.
In the second quarter of 2025, a number of new aircraft will join the Flacon Luxe fleet, including the long-range Bombardier Global Express 6500 in an ultra-premium configuration, in line with the further expansion of the fleet. The new aircraft will allow offering non-stop flights of up to 12,000km connecting most of the global city pairs.
Falcon Luxe will also unveil a new premium cabin design, a bet to attract high-spending travelers to flights that can top 14 hours. The new concept is aimed at setting new industry standards on the world's longest routes. Designed with discerning travellers in mind, the new cabins promise luxury with enhanced space and comfort, allowing passengers to relax or work effortlessly on board.
Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investments, the parent company of Falcon, commented: 'We are honoured to build on the legacy of the heritage Falcon Aviation brand, originally founded by His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahayan. Today, Falcon sets a new industry standard in private aviation and supports Dubai's vision to become a global private aviation hub. It is set to become a leading private jet operator in the region, attracting more wealthy travellers to the UAE.' -

It reinforces the financial architecture required to operate at scale, with speed and resilience. In an increasingly competitive and complex environment, this alignment ensures we remain agile, well-capitalised, and positioned for sustained international growth."

We recognise that effective cashflow and supply chain finance are fundamental to sustainable business models. By combining our global expertise with innovative financial solutions, we are enhancing financial agility and enabling long-term value creation." "Through FAB's digital SCF solution, EDGE provides local and international suppliers access to early, low-cost financing, which enhances supplier trust, improves commercial terms, and ensures continuity across critical operations," he added. Group Chief Financial Officer Rodrigo Torres said: "This partnership reflects EDGE's commitment to embedding financial sophistication and innovation at the core of our operations. By integrating FAB's advanced SCF and AI-powered TMS platforms, we are optimising liquidity and supplier performance while also reinforcing our ability to manage risk and scale with confidence." Torres, said to date, over AED1.6 billion in invoices have been processed, unlocking more than AED1.2 billion in off-balance sheet financing.
