Qatar Executive, the bespoke charter division of Qatar Airways Group, has amplified its ultra-luxury fleet by welcoming its first Gulfstream G500 aircraft—setting a new benchmark for private jet travel in 2025.
The Gulfstream G500, now fully operational, stands as the most advanced model in Qatar Executive’s collection. This revolutionary business jet is engineered with an exceptionally quiet cabin and industry-leading pressurization, ensuring passengers experience minimal fatigue and maximum rejuvenation at altitude.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, commented: “The addition of the cutting-edge Gulfstream G500 to our fleet reaffirms our dedication to delivering an unrivalled travel experience for our Qatar Executive clients. This next-generation jet elevates our service standards and offers our discerning global clientele a seamless, luxurious journey from takeoff to landing.”
He continued, “Our partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation remains strong, and we anticipate further fleet enhancements as we receive additional state-of-the-art jets from their prestigious lineup.”
Gulfstream President Mark Burns added: “It is an honour to mark the first international handover of the Gulfstream G500 to Qatar Executive. Their commitment to innovation and passenger comfort aligns with our own values, and their expanding Gulfstream fleet—including the flagship G650ER—speaks to their pursuit of excellence.”
The G500 is powered by advanced Pratt & Whitney Canada PW800 engines, tailored for superior performance on long-haul, high-altitude routes. The aircraft’s impressive range enables non-stop travel between destinations such as Istanbul and Cape Town, Los Angeles and London, or San Francisco and Tokyo. The interior is meticulously designed, featuring the latest in connectivity and entertainment: global satellite communications, ultra-fast Wi-Fi, the Oryx One entertainment suite, wireless LAN, and Gulfstream’s intuitive Cabin Management System, allowing guests to personalize their environment using their own devices—controlling everything from mood lighting and temperature to privacy shades and media.
As of 2025, Qatar Executive operates a fleet of 15 state-of-the-art private jets, continually setting new standards in luxury air travel.
