Dubai's Elite Jets reports buoyant demand for its new G450 and its features designed to promote passenger wellbeing. "I am extremely pleased with our new aircraft. Our clients are truly enjoying their travel experience," says Ammar Balkar, president and ceo. "This G450 is currently the first and only one available for charter in Dubai. It comes with upgraded engines, the latest avionics technology, and aerodynamic enhancements, and comfortably seats 14 passengers."

Balkar says other attractions include a range that enables it to take six passengers 13 hours non-stop from Dubai to destinations as far as Tokyo, Helsinki or Cape Town. "There is a maximum cruising altitude is up to 45,000 feet, but the G450 can climb to its initial cruising altitude of 41,000 feet in less than 23 minutes.

"The improved aerodynamics means the clients feel only a short and very smooth assent," he adds. "Twelve Gulfstream signature oval windows increase the sense of spaciousness and, during daylight, substantially brighten the cabin with an abundance of natural light, helping to counter the effects of jet lag. Equally significant for passenger well-being is the 100 per cent fresh air and the Therapeutic Oxygen Outlet with Bubble Humidifier inside the cabin that ensures the cabin altitude will never reach above 6,000 feet." There are three separate climate control zones and a fully-functional galley.

Elite Jets was established at the Dubai Airport Free Zone in January 2004 and provides charter, aircraft sales brokerage and aircraft management services.
