Metrojet Limited announced the arrival of Asia’s first Bombardier Global 8000 aircraft into its managed fleet, a landmark achievement that reflects the Company’s continued growth and ability to embrace the most advanced aircraft across the business aviation spectrum, reinforcing Metrojet’s position as a trusted leader in the management of world-class aircraft.

The Global 8000, distinguished by its cutting-edge performance and unparalleled cabin experience, represents a new era of long-range private travel. Its entry into Metrojet’s fleet not only signals a broadening of the Company’s expertise but also underscores Metrojet’s versatility in managing aircraft from the world’s leading manufacturers.

 Mr Dave Yip, CEO of Metrojet commented: “This milestone is a defining moment for Metrojet. The arrival of the Global 8000 demonstrates our ability to deliver world-class management solutions for the most sophisticated aircraft in the industry. We are already seeing growing interest from other Bombardier owners, and with our established Bombardier maintenance capabilities, we are confident in providing them with the same excellence and assurance that has long defined Metrojet.”

Captain Stewart Borg, Metrojet’s Director, Flight Operations, stated: “The Global 8000 sets a new benchmark in capability and performance. Successfully integrating such a technologically advanced aircraft into our fleet required precision, collaboration, and strong expertise. I am immensely proud of our Operations team, whose professionalism ensures that Metrojet continues to lead with safety and excellence.”
