RoyalJet and AMAC Aerospace sign a multi-million-dollar agreement for upgrade to its BBJ fleet

Abu Dhabi: RoyalJet, the Abu Dhabi-headquartered, award-winning premium private aviation company, has recently signed a deal with Swiss-based AMAC Aerospace and Abu Dhabi based Slash Design in order to upgrade two of the most popular Boeing Business Jets in its fleet, aimed at delivering a fresh new look and an enhanced VVIP customer experience.

AMAC, one of the world’s foremost experts in the maintenance, repair, overhaul, modification and completion of VVIP aircraft, will be responsible for upgrading the connectivity in one of the RoyalJet aircraft and for upgrading the connectivity, cabin systems and all cabin furnishings in the other. The cabin refurbishment is based on an innovative design conceived by Slash, one of the leading providers of distinctive design concepts in the region, and utilizes only the highest quality materials offered by AMAC in order to reflect the new brand identity and the experience transformation Slash have been developing for RoyalJet.

The first RoyalJet BBJ scheduled for this connectivity upgrade – its most recently refurbished aircraft is already nearing completion at AMAC’s facility in Basel. The second is due to commence its upgrade along with its interior redesign and full refurbishment in the coming weeks. These aircraft will be the third and fourth BBJs in the RoyalJet fleet to provide customers with the highest speed of inflight connectivity available on the market.

“We are delighted to have our long term partners AMAC Aerospace and Slash Design on board with us for this project, relentlessly supporting us in all our endeavors throughout our journey. This is yet another testament to our unwavering commitment to deliver excellence across our fleet.” said Rob DiCastri, CEO, RoyalJet.

“The delivery of the newly refurbished BBJ will also provide us with the opportunity to showcase our new brand identity and begin to introduce our new customer experience, designed not only for our existing client base, but also for those in search of one of a kind travel solutions. This aircraft will further enable us to enhance our position as the global reference in premium private aviation via our ability to provide 1/2 personalised delight to our guests,” he added.

‘It is with great pleasure that we welcome our esteemed client, Royal Jet, to our facilities for their fleet upgrades. As one of the largest Boeing fleet operators in the world, this allows us the opportunity to revitalize their aircraft, allowing clients to indulge in the premium offerings from Royal Jet. The projects are not small, they demand our best engineers and technicians and we appreciate the opportunity to work on this exciting project. We aim to serve our clients to the best of our abilities and look forward to returning to service these premium aircraft from the Middle East, ‘ said Bernd Schramm, Group Chief Operating Officer, AMAC Aerospace.

RoyalJet will present the newly refurbished aircraft along with its enhanced travel experience in private viewings for its VVIP customers at its Abu Dhabi Fixed Base Operation (FBO), which has recently also been redesigned and is currently under renovation.

As of today, RoyalJet’s fleet consists of ten aircraft with a total of eight BBJs, positioning the aviation company as the largest operator of Boeing Business Jets in the world.
