Abu Dhabi,
UAE, 29th October 2008:
Royal Jet, the Abu Dhabi-headquartered international luxury
executive flight services company - chaired by H.E. Sheikh
Hamdan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan – has once again been honoured
by the World Travel Awards by being named the Middle
East’s Leading Private Jet Charter at a glittering
ceremony at the new Dubai Atlantis Hotel on The Palm.
The World
Travel Awards (WTA) are regarded as the travel industry's
equivalent of the 'Oscars'; and picking up the award from
Miss Zi Lin Zhang
- Miss World 2007
on behalf of Royal Jet was its President and CEO Shane
O’Hare.
“What makes
this award so special,” O’Hare said, “is that the winners in
each category are decided by votes received from agents and
travel professionals in the Middle East and throughout the
world. So it is a firm endorsement by the industry itself
that we are regarded as the best private jet charter in the
region
“This has
not come about by accident, of course,” he continued, “but
by the hard work of all the Royal Jet staff and by the
vision and leadership of our chairman, Sheikh Hamdan. We
have worked tirelessly to offer the very best to our
customers in terms both of security and unequalled luxury.
“We have
recently committed to spending in excess of $50 million on
the refurbishment of our fleet of five Boeing Business Jets
– the largest BBJ fleet in the world, and the only one of
its kind in the Middle East – to make them even more
luxurious and to fit them out with the very best. The fact
that we have decided to invest so much into this upgrade
programme amply demonstrates the unequalled commitment we
give to our customers.
“So, after
five years, it is clear we are setting new standards within
the industry and we are in a class of our own - the world’s
first and only truly luxury private jet brand,” O’Hare
concluded.
