Royal Jet, the Abu Dhabi-based executive aviation company, has signed Aviation Services Management (ASM) as a general sales agent in India.
Ahmed Al Mamari, chief operating officer for Royal Jet, and Vito Gomes, founder & managing director, Aviation Services Management, signed the agreement, in the presence of Fahad Wali, acting vice president, commercial, Royal Jet.
“The number of high net worth individuals in India is experiencing considerable growth, which, when combined with a significant gap in the availability of business jets with 10 to 42 passenger capacity, presents excellent opportunities for business aviation across the Indian sub continent and for Royal Jet in particular,” said Wali.
“With ASM’s strong foundation in the UAE and network of offices across India coupled with Royal Jet’s heritage and award-winning service capabilities, this agreement will undoubtedly result in positive benefits for both parties.”
ASM’s Gomes added: “We are delighted to forge a relationship with Royal Jet, the global leader in the private aviation industry,” said. “With this partnership we can bring the finest aviation services to the emerging Indian market. ASM has deep roots in India and understand the needs for corporate and discerning individual travellers from India.”
Royal Jet’s luxury fleet includes six Boeing Business Jets; two mid-range Gulfstream 300s; a long-range Gulfstream IVSP; a Lear Jet 60 and an Embraer Lineage 1000.
ASM has branch offices in Dubai, Goa and the UK. It provides a range of services to private jet owners.
