Elite Jets adds the first commercial Falcon Jet 900DX in the region to its fleet

Elite Jets, the luxury private jet operator based in Dubai proudly adds to its existing fleet the Falcon Jet 900DX (date of Manufacture: 2006), which will be available for charter as of September 2009.

The 900DX is an advanced large-size, wide-body business jet with intercontinental range that embodies the best of Falcon Jets characteristics – long range, acclaimed cabin comfort and remarkable versatility – with unique safety and performance features. It exemplifies excellence in travel for the corporate VIP or leisure traveller. It is more than an aircraft; it's a completely luxurious experience offering the ultimate in private jet travel.

"I am extremely pleased with our Falcon 900DX aircraft. In November 2008 Elite Jets had received its first Falcon Jet, the 900B – and our clients truly enjoy with great pleasure their travel experience on board the Falcon," said Mr. Ammar Balkar, Board Member, President and CEO of Elite Jets.

The 900DX comes with top-of the range facilities, three-engine configuration and the latest avionics technology offered by the EASy Flight Deck.

The 900DX doesn't have the limitations or restrictions other aircraft have and it can go where others can't. It is approved to land or depart at London City airport and it performs well especially in hot weather zones. It handles short runways and high altitudes virtually anywhere with ease, such as St. Moritz in Switzerland or St. Tropez in France. Thus, you'll have access to many smaller airports, which is especially valuable on remote multi-sector trips. Also, the three-engine configuration not only gives added peace of mind on long routes over water, but it's simply a smarter way to fly.

Designed for the upmost in privacy and personal space the 900DX is perhaps the most preferred business jets in the world, comfortably seats 13 passengers in spacious and luxurious accommodations with the latest in-flight amenities. It is an interior that is significantly more comfortable than other jets in its class. The long cabin, with plenty of stand-up head room, allows you to move about with ease, stretch out and relax or work in comfort with increased productivity, or sleep soundly as you travel the globe. The interior's privacy and comfort are really invaluable on lengthy missions where passengers need to be well rested for work upon arrival. In short, it is an environment where the well-travelled can travel, making it both pleasurable and productive.

"Elite Jets is committed to meet the growing demand for sophisticated regional and international air charter service," said Balkar.

Other extraordinary advantages are the high speed of the 900DX and for example, can fly from London to Boston in seven hours flat. With a range of almost 7,600 km (4,100 nm) the 900DX connects continents with ease and can comfortably cross both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.

For example, with only 8 passengers onboard the 900DX can travel up to 8 hours, non-stop, from Dubai to a destination as far as: - East: Singapore, Taiwan, Seoul or Beijing. South: Johannesburg or Durban in South Africa. West: Casablanca, Marrakesh or Lagos in Nigeria. North: it can reach all Scandinavian capitals, Dublin (Ireland), St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk in Russia. With only one stop, the Falcon 900DX from Dubai can reach far-away destination, such as New York via Shannon or Rio de Janeiro via Lagos. Also of great interest to our clients from Saudi Arabia will be the aircraft range from Jeddah for example all the way up to Moscow, Singapore, Bangkok, Cape Town or even Sierra Leone non-stop.

The Falcon 900DX is managed and operated by Elite Jets - thriving on providing its customers with safe, luxurious, private and comfortable trips, superior services and travel solutions.

"Despite the continuing turbulence in the global economy, business aircraft continue to provide a fundamental and essential service.  The benefits of business aviation will play a key role in the rebound of the regional economic markets. Corporate and industrial leaders are pursuing tools to improve efficiencies, expand existing markets and develop new businesses. History has shown that one of the most effective ways to achieve these goals is through the use of business aircraft." Balkar adds.
