Here at the MEBA show, Royal Jet is expected to announce plans  to further increase its fleet. The Abu Dhabi-based company is likely to commit to more aircraft in both the VIP airliner and super-midsize classes. It may also confirm plans to establish one or more new bases in the Gulf region to address a shortage of FBO and maintenance facilities, as well as introducing other new services.

According to Royal Jet vice president John Morgan, the company has been riding a strong wave of business aviation market growth, with revenues increasing by as much as 25 to 30 percent in recent years. He estimates the executive/VIP charter market in the Middle East to be worth about $500 million each year and said Royal Jet currently has about a 16-percent slice of this pie.
