Qatar Executive is the private jet charter division of the Qatar Airways Group. The airline announced the subsidiary at the Paris Air Show in 2009 as part of the airline’s global growth strategy.

They are also strongly committed to the Middle East and the business aviation industry and are one of the most successful and respected business jet operators in the region. Let’s take a look at it in more detail and find out how Qatar Executive operates.

The company’s business jets are wholly owned, and they have what can be described as an ultra-modern fleet with some of the most recently launched private jets.

The luxurious jets are available for charter worldwide, either as individual flights or a block of 50 hours or more can be pre-purchased at a fixed hourly rate. They offer flexible and reliable flights that are also exclusive.

Base and fleet

Qatar Executive operates out of Doha International Airport but partners with Hamad International Airport for every convenience.

They work on a floating base concept so that aircraft and crew can be available for a charter flight from and to anywhere worldwide.
