In a bid to enhance its customer offerings, Royal Jet recently announced the use of enhanced visual system technology in its two recently delivered Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft.
It is the first charter operator in the UAE to receive regulatory approval from UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to use the technology.
The company has also confirmed that HE Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan and board of directors at Royal Jet have approved the technology to be in the two new Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) aircraft due to arrive in 2015.
The EVS infrared camera provides imaging of outside environment, including terrain, runway, other aircraft and animals on the Heads-Up Display (HUD). The enhanced vision system increases safety during taxi, take-off and approach in low visibility conditions.
Captain Patrick Gordon, acting president and chief executive officer of Royal Jet said, “We continually strive to set the benchmark in safety and service. We flew into 250 airports in over 105 countries last year and this system will provide our flight crews with enhanced vision, which heightens safety.”
Royal Jet currently operates 11 aircraft – six Boeing Business Jets, two Bombardier Global 5000s, two Bombardier Learjets and one Gulfstream G300.
