The Global 5000 jet, which is on static display for the entire show, is part of Qatar Executive’s wholly-owned Bombardier fleet of six long-range business jets.

Qatar Executive’s ultra-long Global 5000 aircraft has 13 seats and a comfortable two cabin configuration – forward cabin with four seats and a four place conference table. The rear cabin has two single seats, a three-person divan and private aft lavatory. The aircraft is equipped with large monitors, surround sound and communications equipment, as well as Wi-fi connection, making it a true “office in the sky”.

Apart from the two Global 5000 jets, Qatar Executive also has three Bombardier* Challenger 605* jets and a Global Express* XRS* aircraft – one of the most accomplished and luxurious business jets in the sky, making it the youngest fleet of business aircraft in the Gulf, with an average age of just over one year.
With its ultra-modern fleet, Qatar Executive is able to fly passengers throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, North America and even Australia, offering the ultimate jet-setting experience for those who prefer to fly at their own schedule in comfort.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: “We look forward to showcasing our Global 5000 business jet for the first time at the Singapore Air Show. Knowing that the business aviation sector is experiencing significant growth in Asia, it is a great opportunity to present Qatar Executive’s top-end service for individual and flexible air travel to the travelling public across Asia.

“The Asian market continues to be at the forefront of wealth creation, minting millionaires at a faster pace than any other region in the world. And we are confident that the exclusive travel experience

we provide onboard our luxurious jets, will exceed the expectations of the most discerned clientele also in this part of the world.”

Customer response towards the interior cabins of the Global 5000 aircraft has indeed been extremely positive.

Added Al Baker: “The high ceiling, the space inside, the finish, the capabilities of the in-flight entertainment system and the positioning of the high-quality leather sofas and seats, has made the aircraft type extremely popular among our customers.”

Customers flying onboard Qatar Executive’s fleet can enjoy not just personalised service and a virtually unlimited range of onboard amenities, but also the hassle-free experience of not having to queue at airports and wait long hours for connecting flights as they decide where they want to fly, at the time of their choice.

Qatar Airways has opened its new Premium Lounge at London Heathrow, reinforcing the importance of one of the airline’s busiest routes.

The Premium Lounge at Terminal 4 is the airline’s first dedicated facility for First and Business Class passengers outside its Doha hub.

The carrier currently operates the award-winning Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport, exclusively for use by passengers travelling in First or Business Class.

The opening marks the start of another busy year for the carrier, with the launch of new routes, as well as additional capacity on the London Heathrow – Doha route, which was stepped up from four to five flights a day from March 25th.

Following a landmark year in 2011, which saw Qatar Airways introduce 15 new destinations to its network and win the coveted World Travel Awards, the airline’s new Heathrow lounge is set to become the benchmark for international airport lounges.

Qatar Airways Premium Lounge at London Heathrow

Designed to resemble a boutique hotel or private member’s club rather than a conventional airport lounge, the new Qatar Airways Premium Lounge at Heathrow has been created to provide the ultimate in luxury and Five-Star service.

Qatar Airways recruited lounge staff from Five Star hotels and restaurants to work in the theatre-style Global Brasserie kitchen, innovative Delicatessen, and elegant Signature Martini bar.

The lounge also includes private shower facilities, with heated floors and mirrors, hotel-style towels and luxury brand toiletries and amenities.

Business and leisure travellers can stay connected with free Wi-Fi throughout the lounge, discreet power sockets at every seat and a business centre that includes PCs and printers.

Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker said that the new lounge reflected the importance of extending the airline’s award-winning service beyond the signature Premium Terminal in Doha.

“London has long been one of our best-performing routes, so Heathrow was an obvious choice for our first Premium Lounge outside Doha,” he said.

“With the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games taking place this summer, the international spotlight will be on the British capital and we look forward to the increase in capacity and welcoming more premium travellers on our high demand services to London.

“The lounge is the latest development in our expanding global network and will enable both loyal customers and those travelling with us for the first time, to take full advantage of the high levels of service we provide.”

Best Dressed Airline
Qatar Airways has been voted as the best airline uniform in the industry by travelers, industry observers and in the fashion circles. According to an earlier blog, "Qatar Airways’ plum-coloured uniform must have hit the right note with customers, as it was voted ‘most stylish’ by Skyscanner users in a poll in September 2010. The deep-maroon uniform, a colour often associated with dignity, nobility, and power, also reflects the airline’s logo" Qatar Airways is very serious when it comes to its image and the look of its crew.  The airline is rumored to have a grooming officer who ensures the crew have the perfect look as seen below:

Qatar Airways' corporate jet division, Qatar Executive, Ends 2011 on a High

Thursday, 22 December 2011

Qatar Airways’ corporate jet division, Qatar Executive, has written another chapter in its success story following a year marked by fleet expansion, the introduction of its own dedicated maintenance hangar and a significant boost of its service portfolio.

In the two years since its inception, Qatar Executive has built a solid foundation for its future development, rapidly becoming a lucrative business backed by the global expertise and track record of its award-winning parent carrier, Qatar Airways.

In response to the growing demand for business jet services from the Middle East and around the world, the division has strengthened its market position through diversifying its service portfolio, now encompassing not just its core business of aircraft charters, but also aircraft management, maintenance and a full range of Fixed Based Operation (FBO) services.

During the summer, Qatar Executive added three new Bombardier aircraft to its fleet, including the ultra-long haul Global Express XRS – one of the most luxurious business jets in the sky – a Global 5000 and a Challenger 605 making it the youngest fleet of business aircraft in the Gulf, with an average age of just one year.

Today, the provider of exclusive business or leisure flights operates a total of six wholly-owned Bombardier jets, a number set to increase in line with the expansion plans Qatar Executive has set in its pursuit of growth in key markets.

One of Qatar Executive's 6 Corporate Jets
Another significant boost to Qatar Executive’s operations was the opening of a dedicated 6,400 square metre hangar facility for maintenance operations at Doha International Airport. The new hangar serves Qatar Executive, as well as other carriers, and has been recognised by Bombardier as an Approved Service Facility in the Middle East.

Together with Doha International Airport’s ground handling agent QAS, Qatar Executive offers a full suite of services to visiting private and corporate jets including VIP meet and greet and executive ground handling services, fuel arrangements, parking, hangaring and aircraft cleaning.

Commenting on an exciting 2011, Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said:“Even in the current economic conditions, Qatar Executive has shown a dynamic performance and significantly increased earnings compared to 12 months ago.

“Qatar Executive has received exceptional customer response throughout the year and hasdeveloped into a world-class corporate aviation company, integrated into Qatar Airways’ full-service strategy.

“Qatar Airways’ premium customer segment offers enormous potential for Qatar Executive, which the private jet division is continuously looking to capitalise on.”

Added Al Baker: “There is a natural synergy for Qatar Airways to transfer its First and Business Class passengers, who plan to connect from the commercial airline’s network to remote destinations, onto its private jet service. This is a market we are progressively tapping into, and distinguishes our service significantly from other operators.”

On the division’s further growth plans, Al Baker said: “Looking to the future, we will expand into existing markets like Russia and other high-demand European countries, as well as the rapidly emerging markets of Asia.”

Being part of a well-established full service global network airline of Qatar Airways, named Airline of the Year 2011 by the prominent industry audit Skytrax, Qatar Executive customers enjoy the highest standards of travel in terms of quality, exclusivity, comfort and confidentiality provided by highly trained and experienced crew.

The personalised service for passengers includes the convenience of booking an aircraft in as little as four hours before departure, access to premium airport lounges, and check-in 10 minutes prior to take off.

I just received this email. Qatar Airways is apparently recruiting in Kenya. Deadline is 9th July, that's just 6 days away for those interested in a career Up in the Sky. In light of recent Qatar Airways employment scams, we advise potential applicants to carefully verify the availability of the positions at Qatar Airways' offices in Barclays Plaza Nairobi before submitting an application. A Quick search on Qatar Airways Career page shows that there are no positions in Africa at this time. However, here's the catch, Kenya's page is listed as "Offline" . I am assuming this means applicants in Kenya will submit their applications Offline i.e at Qatar Airways local offices. To be on the safe side, take the applicaton in person after verifying that the position advertised for is actually available. Good luck every one!
