Emirates is launching a private jet service as it seeks to capture the lucrative high-end executive market.
The service, called Emirates Executive, will be served by an Airbus A319 with seating for up to 19 passengers.
The aircraft is configured into two main areas - the first, at the front, is a dining and executive lounge seating up to 12 people. It has two large sofas, four "mechanically-activated" tables and two 42 inch high-definition televisions.
The second section houses 10 private suites, each featuring a fully flat seat, a 32-inch HD television and a shower.
Customers can now book the service online with customers able to "start their journey" via a request form that lets them design a travel experience that meets their specifications.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president, said: “Emirates Executive elevates the high standards and quality of Emirates that our customers have come to expect, with the flexibility and luxury that can only be offered by a private chartered flight.
"We have seen an increasing demand in the private travel segment, especially in the Middle East and Europe as well as in markets such as India, Russia and China.”
