Executive Sky managing director Khaled Akkawi said yesterday that growth at his two-year-old Beirut, Lebanon-based charter company has been nothing short of phenomenal, with "2010 revenues up 500 percent over 2009." Executive Sky currently operates a two-aircraft fleet, a Learjet 60 and a Hawker 700.

Marketing coordinator Christine Mdawar said the company hopes to have its first large-cabin business jet, a Falcon 900, operational for charter next spring. Executive Sky might base the 900 in Saudi Arabia to reduce ferry time to that region's client base.
