Beirut-headquartered Emerald Jets, which also has a base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, reports strong interest in its three CRJ200s. Formerly Easyfly before being rebranded, Emerald Jets has expanded its service range to include passenger charter operations as well as vip flights. President Talal Wahab expects his new aircraft to be based mainly in Riyadh.

He says the CRJ200 provides a great charter platform and benefits from low operating costs and a very large cabin.
