OPUL Jets has launched a Middle East division, OPUL Jets Middle East, in Dubai. This expansion reinforces the company's commitment to providing private aviation to a rapidly growing market of high net worth individuals, corporate clients and VIP travellers across the Middle East, Indian and Asian markets. 
OPUL has designated ExecuJet Middle East's facility at Al Maktoum International airport as the base for all its charter flights, utilising the location for its services and amenities. Other strategically located bases include Biggin Hill airport in London and The Manx Jet Centre at Ronaldsway airport on the Isle of Man.

In celebration of the launch, OPUL Jets hosted a VIP event including a special showcase of its Bombardier Global Express jet, which is positioned in the hangarage at the ExecuJet Middle East facility. Its Global Express is equipped with the Space X Starlink satellite internet.

The launch event brought together prominent figures from the aviation industry, high profile clients and distinguished guests for an evening of luxury and networking. Attendees experienced first-hand the services, fleet offerings and technology that defines OPUL Jets Middle East.

The Middle East is a dynamic market for private aviation, driven by the region's growing economy, high concentration of affluent clientele and increasing demand for exclusive travel experiences. With the launch of OPUL Jets Middle East, the company aims to meet the needs of discerning clients by offering a diverse fleet of modern aircraft and bespoke charter services tailored to individual preferences.

“We are thrilled to officially launch our first aircraft in the Middle East at ExecuJet in Dubai,” says Harry Ackerman, group CEO. “This strategic expansion highlights our commitment to delivering luxury aviation solutions to an elite clientele. Dubai is a key global hub, and by establishing a strong presence here, we can better serve the region as well as Asian and Indian markets with our signature blend of personalised service and operational excellence.”

The OPUL Jets service is enhanced by 24/7 concierge assistance via OPUL Concierge, where aviation experts are available around the clock to arrange flights, manage itineraries and coordinate ground services. The integration of cutting-edge safety measures and advanced flight technology further enhances passenger security and comfort. VIP passengers can also enjoy personalised inflight services, including gourmet dining and luxury ground transportation, while gaining access to private terminals for discretion and convenience.

OPUL Jets’ fleet operates under AOCs from OMNI Aviation in Portugal, SaxonAir Charter in the UK and AV8Jet in Malta.
