Global Jet hails arrival of award-winning first ACJ319 neo
With 73 aircraft currently under management, Global Jet continues to grow in a structured and disciplined manner. Bombardier is now the most represented OEM within its fleet, with 22 aircraft under management.
William Roux says the Global is a proven platform.

Two further aircraft have joined the Global Jet fleet: a Global 7500 and an Airbus ACJ319 neo.

Aircraft management director of the Swiss-headquartered private jet operator William Roux says: “The decision to invest in the Global 7500 reflects both the strategic vision of our client and the continued confidence in a platform that has proven itself at the very top end of business aviation. Our client elected to join one of the largest Global 7500 fleets, as we currently manage 12 Global 7500 aircraft. From an operational and commercial standpoint, the aircraft has demonstrated outstanding reliability and dispatch performance, making it a highly attractive asset for the charter market while maintaining the highest standards expected by private owners.

“The aircraft will be based in Dubai and will be available for ad hoc charter. Positioning the aircraft there allows us to meet strong regional demand while also supporting long-range intercontinental missions, which is precisely where the Global 7500 excels.”

From a fleet perspective, this addition further strengthens and complements Global Jet's existing operations. With 73 aircraft currently under management, Global Jet continues to grow in a structured and disciplined manner, with 22 Bombardier aircraft under management. The Global 7500 sits at the pinnacle of that portfolio, the company says, offering unmatched range, cabin comfort and performance, and allowing it to provide a consistent, high-end solution to clients seeking ultra-long-range capability.

Roux goes on: “This year has been particularly significant for Global Jet. Building on the strong momentum of 2024, we have achieved record results across several key metrics. These outcomes are the result of an exceptional collective effort by our teams. In 2025, we successfully registered 20 aircraft, both for new clients joining Global Jet and for existing clients upgrading. This level of activity is a strong endorsement of our operating model, our technical expertise and our client-focused approach.

“Looking ahead, our outlook is extremely positive. The horizon for 2026 is very bright, supported by an already solid pipeline of confirmed new deliveries. We are also seeing a clear and sustained increase in demand for aircraft management services across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. These regions are becoming increasingly active, both in terms of fleet growth and operational complexity, and Global Jet is well-positioned to support clients there with robust infrastructure, local knowledge and global reach.”

Business development VP Bjorn Naberhuis speaks highly of the ACJ319 neo, which is also based in Dubai: “The aircraft is in full management with Global Jet and also crewed to perform ad hoc charter flights and has a great range compared to similar aircraft, thanks to being a neo model.

“The aircraft features an exceptionally refined and welcoming interior, widely regarded as one of the most comfortable in the current market and recognised with the Elite Aviation 2023 Award at the Design et al Elite Awards. It truly feels like a luxury residence in the sky. In addition, the neo configuration delivers an impressive range of up to 6,000 nautical miles, significantly expanding mission capability and making long-haul, non-stop destinations more easily achievable.”

As the only neo aircraft currently in the Global Jet fleet, it clearly stands out thanks to its award-winning interior and its full availability for charter. The aircraft is equipped with Ka-band connectivity, which is a significant advantage in today’s market, enabling seamless productivity and connectivity throughout long-haul flights. With sleeping arrangements for up to 12 single beds and two double beds, it offers exceptional comfort and rest, making it ideally suited for both business and leisure travellers and perfectly complementary to the existing fleet.
