The Jet Set
Nothing says luxury quite like traveling in a private jet. Manal Obeid, Arab Wings’ sales and marketing chief, says her airline can whisk you away at a moment’s notice to pretty much any destination in the world in the utmost luxury.
What aircraft do you have available for chartering?
Our diverse fleet includes a Legacy 650, Gulfstream G450, Hawker 800 XP, and several Challengers. These range from light jets with seven seats up to heavy jets with 50 seats.
What services do you provide onboard?
There are different entertainment systems on each aircraft. Some have unlimited WiFi, a private bedroom, and shower. Passengers can also create their own food menus.
How does flying with you differ from traveling first class on a commercial airline?
You plan your own schedule. You can board the aircraft at your own convenience and have ultimate privacy and luxury onboard. You can also depart and arrive at your own VIP terminal and we can access smaller airports that other commercial planes can’t.
What destinations do you get asked to travel to?
We fly to destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and even the United States. We also cover high risk areas such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen. In addition to VIP charter services, we also provide air ambulance services as well as aircraft management.
How much does it cost to hire one of your jets?
We charge by the hour. The hourly rate varies from one aircraft to another. It can start from $3,500 per hour and go up to $12,000 per hour.
A flight from Amman to Beirut with a layover can cost up to $16,000 on our Hawker 800 XP, which can accommodate up to eight passengers.
