Royal Jet announced its performance for 2012 and its 2011 revenue per aircraft, with revenues increasing by more than 6% for Boeing Business Jets (BBJs) and 27% for Gulfstreams in terms of aircraft usage and block hours.
Shane O’Hare, president and CEO of Royal Jet said: “Moving forward into 2013 and considering the positive economic outlook for the UAE, Royal Jet will continue to set benchmarks.”
2012 saw Royal Jet operate more than 630 VIP charter trips and 230 Medevac trips with a total of over 3,135 flights to 370 cities in 136 countries. Earlier last year, Royal Jet announced a 17% increase in first-quarter revenues over the same period in 2011. This was followed by the performance to date with a 19% increase in flying hours over the same period in 2011.
“As we look forward to the future, we are assessing our long term fleet plan which would include replacement of the existing BBJ fleet by 2016,”continued O’Hare.
