NasJet fleet expands with Citation Excel in Jeddah

Demand in the Middle East for short range private jets increases among business and leisure users looking to fly from city to city as NasJet, described as the largest private jet operator in the region, signs a management agreement for an eight-seat Citation Excel, based between ‘charter hotspots’ Riyadh and Jeddah.
As part of a growing fleet, with 65 managed/flight support aircraft, NasJet will offer the aircraft at a competitive charter rate to clients requiring an efficient method of flying short range trips, typically between regional city pairs.
The Citation Excel has the roomiest cabin in its class with stand up head room and plenty of luggage space.
“In many cases this aircraft competes directly with business-class commercial airline fares, if the aircraft is fully occupied and the passengers want the flexibility to return the same day,” says Charter Sales Director Khalil Rachidi.
“The owner of this aircraft selected NasJet for the depth of international and regional aircraft management experience, which spans 13-years,” said Aircraft Management Director Yosef Hafiz.
“Most importantly, NasJet were able to demonstrate significant ‘economy of scale’ cost saving benefits on operational items including fuel, insurance, maintenance and crew training,” he said.
NasJet are able to provide immediate back-up support services, if at any time the owner’s aircraft is either busy flying or in maintenance.
The core charter fleet consists of Gulfstream, Falcon and Hawker aircraft available 24/7 through the dedicated NasJet Charter department.
