I saw a write up in the National that EK has started an Executive Aircraft Division.

Any more news, I will try to find the URL for the National,s report.

What, you mean this one? Emirates Executive ? Airbus A319 Private Jet Charter Service

[Wagdi19]

Emirates received the first A319 on April 2013 to operated as a private jet, as far as I know they already recruited 7 pilots to run this operation. There is no flight scheduled they fly whenever required to anywhere in the world. The aircraft equipped with 4 Auxiliary fuel tanks

[Orangewing]

It is flown by Emirates A330 pilots and cabin crew who were selected for the corporate 319.

No doubt Iver will be along any minute.....

Bssed in DXB or DWC

Just asking....???????..glf

Edit 1:If a freeB from AB can we assume that Qatar will be getting BBJ's for Xmas...

Edit 2: as it will be in ERK colours and I assume full EK call-sign, they will integrate with EK mainline, and be free to operate as a corporate aircraft in DXW, and not be obliged to go to DWC.

at least the new graded runway provides a level playing field.

Based at the EK hangars on the north side of DXB and as it's a rumor network is there any truth that it was a freebie from Airbus in lieu of ongoing A380 issues?

[Wizofoz]

I can confirm that the RUMOR is it was a gift from Airbus!!!!

Tim liked it and has gotten the idea of an exec jet service.

[Craggenmore]

What's the toilet policy..?

[Bypass ratio]

I wonder if Ex-A380-800 Driver will now be seen as EX-A330-200 Driver...?? I'm pretty sure that he would love to get his hands on this one

[Desert Dawg]

No matter how you slice and dice it..... You gotta have some serious wonga to charter that plane to fly somewhere nice.....!!

[max AB]

The wheel keeps turning....back in the day EK had a few Falcon 20s for a similar gig.....

[fatbus]

Would love to get your hands on a A319? Why?

[Gulfstreamaviator]

Chairmans barge

There is plenty of Wonga, so no problems there..... but my thinking that it might be the chair-mans barge...

I still suspect, as EK flight number, EK Colours, and EK hangar then it avoids the enforced relocation to DWC.

[rodney rude]

If ex 380/current 330 has any brains he'll follow his talented best buddy into the corporate world and revel in the variety and the time spent around the pool in exotic resorts in great locations.

[Capn Rex Havoc]

I heard that the 319 pilots were still flying the 330s as well. Sounds like the best of both worlds.

[GoreTex]

and the OFF days in their rosters are actually stby days

[fatbus]

Info on off days is incorrect , just talk to any of the 6 pilots to get the details, better than you think.

[CAYNINE]

Not in EK colours

Gulf,

you broke nearly all the top events in the last year, you either YOU HAVE GOT TO BE WELL CONNECTED, or you PISS UP EVERYDAY AT THE WAREHOUSE.

Btw the Emirates VVIP service has been doing the rounds of Social Media.

Dont you think there's enough competition in the middle east?; Royal Jet with BBJ's, Al Jabar with the A319's and Linage; and DANA Jets GV.

If Maktoum Jr wants to fly, he's always got access to the Dubai Royal Flight's fleet.

The competition will kill them even before they can say, "Salamalekuuum!".

Who on earth's going to be willing to pay a hefty tab for that aircraft as a charter. Even they run it as a scheduled service like silverJet did once, the EK service will be miles ahead of SilverJet but it might be worth a shot.

On Aux Tanks, assuming the endurance goes shoots to 8 to 12 hours(endurance is a guess here, any information on this 'aux-laden' bird's endurance would help), i do hope someone's thought about revamping the anti-ice system especially for fuel system.
