RoyalJet, the VIP operator that made its name operating the world’s largest fleet of Boeing Business Jets (BBJs), is stepping up efforts to grow its customer base by adding new aircraft types. At the same time, the Abu Dhabi-based group is extending its market reach with charter operations now spanning Africa, Asia, and Australia, according to CEO Shafiul Syed.

The most visible aspect of the company’s transformation will be the entry into service of three ACJ320 Neos it ordered in December 2024. The agreement with Airbus, which took the best part of a decade to seal, includes options for another six aircraft and so could range in value between $330 million and $1 billion.
