As long-established and well respected operators of corporate aircraft, Shell was most likely engaged in negotiations for these aircraft long before the most recent oil-price hike.

Furthermore, even if bought outright, the investment would represent mere pennies from their huge operating surplus.

So...your point is...............?

They're Gulfstreams have gone or are going along with the smaller Falcon 50s

Looks like they just want a common fleet (F900EX) now, certainly must be cheaper to run & maintain?

As they fly one or more into LCY almost daily, I guess that having an approved type across the fleet helps.

Very busy to and from EHRD.

What will the fleet be after these changes?
