The new aircraft brings an unprecedented combination of performance, technology and cabin size to Qatar Executive’s fleet.Qatar Airways was the launch customer of the G700. In 2019, Qatar Aiways ordered 10 G700 aircraft. Eleven Gulfstream aircraft are currently in service with Qatar Executive, including six G650ERs and five G500s. The executive charter service is the world’s largest commercial operator of the G650ER and the first commercial charter operator of the G500.The G700 boasts business aviation’s largest cabin and can fly farther, faster than any other competitor in the business-jet industry.
