Gulfstream Aerospace has delivered its first large-cabin, mid-range G300. The aircraft is entering service with Royal Jet, a charter jet operator located at the Abu Dhabi International Airport in the United Arab Emirates. The company holds a UAE AOC and is jointly owned by Amiri Flight and Abu Dhabi AViation.

“The Gulfstream 300 offered

the right range and optimum outfitting flexibility for the types of transportation services Royal Jet provides to the Gulf and

the international community,”

said Captain Timann Gabriel, Royal Jet’s ceo.

“Also, with its outstanding dispatch reliability and product support, the aircraft became the obvious choice.”

Royal Jet’s two G300s, known as multi-purpose aircraft (MPA), have been outfitted to perform two types of missions – one for vip/executive charter and the other for medical evacuation transport. Royal Med, Royal Jet’s medevac provider, uses the cabin of the G300 for special accommodations, including two self-contained bed modules and a seating area that provides privacy for the patient, family and medical staff.

In July of this year, the JAA validated the G300 as well as its sister ship, the G400. This validation enables the two aircraft models to be certified and registered within the 37 European nations’ aviation authorities that comprise the JAA.

Powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay engines, the G300 can fly

3,600nm nonstop, fly at a cruise speed of 0.80 Mach and reach an altitude of 45,000 feet.
