About the Company
Founded by a Qatari royal family, Qatar Airways entered the aviation industry in 1994. In contrast to other airlines, Qatar Airways has its own fleet of private planes in addition to its commercial fleet. The airline’s subsidiary, Qatar Executive, was formed in 2009 and flies principally Gulfstream luxury aircraft.
The Qatar Executive wholly-owned business jet fleet offers stunning jet services for international charter from its headquarters at Doha International Airport. Clients have access to the Block Hour Agreement, a contract-based program that lets flyers reserve flights at hourly prices.
The airline’s sustained support of the Middle East, the international business travel community, and its strong worldwide expansion plan, are all reflected in Qatar Executive.
Moreover, Qatar Executive works with highly qualified personnel from more than 52 different nations and cultures to provide ground handling services to foreign airlines, high-ranking government officials, private aircraft, and air cargo carriers.
Let’s explore their membership programs and continue with the other services.
Membership Programs

Additional Services
Qatar Executive offers some additional services other than aircraft leasing.
Aircraft Management
In this role, Qatar Executive serves as an adviser, providing direction when needed and offering advice on the most economical way to satisfy clients’ demands. Clients can choose a private management solution – exclusive usage, or a commercial management solution, in which the aircraft is leased to other customers in exchange for considerable cost savings on the total price.
Aircraft Servicing and Maintenance
Qatar Executive provides ground handling services and fixed base operations to international airlines, government officials, private aircraft, and air cargo transportation. Thanks to Qatar Executive’s staff of skilled and factory-trained technical experts, all aircraft maintenance tasks are carried out to the highest standards. The Challenger 604/605, Global XRS, 5000, and Gulfstream G650/G500 are among the aircraft on which Qatar Executives can do base and line maintenance.
The Fleet
When you charter a private jet with Qatar Executive, you will have direct access to their fleet and the most modern Gulfstream and Bombardier planes managed to the latest safety standards. These jets are only for private hiring and are not used for regularly scheduled commercial flights by Qatar Airways.
The Gulfstream G650ER, Bombardier Global Express XRS, and Gulfstream G500 are the airline’s current aircraft, counting approximately 20.
What all these jets have in common are features like opulent interiors with roomy seating configurations, dining space, and other functional spaces and furniture, just like private aircraft from other companies. Their interior is designed with a small, selected group of passengers traveling together in mind, so it’s very functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Let’s take a look inside the top three aircraft models in the Qatar Executive fleet and see their performance, size, and amenities.
