The purchase transaction was completed recently, and this new, low time aircraft is currently undergoing technological and communications upgrades in Basel, Switzerland. It is expected to enter into service with RoyalJet and be available for charter globally in April 2022.

Rob DiCastri, CEO at RoyalJet, said: “Despite the ongoing challenges presented by the pandemic, demand in the past six months has exceeded supply in our sector of the aviation industry and our region. The overall health of the global private jet market has now been strong for an extended period, and growth is expected to continue.”


“Fleet expansion, renewal and upgrade are integral elements of our ongoing customer experience transformation, allowing us to continue to provide an even more exceptional experience to our guests,” he added.

This Boeing Business Jet boasts 23 passenger VVIP interior with a forward crew rest area for long journeys, aft private master bedroom with a private lavatory and shower, and a mid-cabin open-plan VVIP lounge. It has been finished with state of the art materials and a custom configuration designed for functionality and maximum comfort and can sleep up to 12 in VVIP lie-flat seats and its queen-sized bed.

It has also been previously upgraded with exceptional soundproofing to reduce in-flight noise levels, along with a low cabin altitude modification, special humidifiers and a HEPA filtration system, all designed to optimise health and comfort, leaving passengers more relaxed and fresher upon reaching their destination.

To further enhance the onboard experience, this aircraft is being fitted with the latest technology and the best connectivity available in the market. This will include the latest lighting, cabin management and in-flight entertainment systems, complemented by a high-quality sound system including overhead speakers and subwoofers. Passengers will also stream high definition video content throughout the flight, including via their accounts with providers such as Apple TV, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video utilising the industry-leading onboard wifi system.


This aircraft will also become the longest range BBJ in RoyalJet's fleet, with auxiliary fuel tanks giving it the capability to fly non-stop for more than 12 hours and reach almost any destination globally with only one short fuel stop. It will be the 14th aircraft in RoyalJet's fleet, which will now include 11 BBJs – already by far the world's largest fleet of its type.

“This is an exceptional aircraft with exceptional capabilities, along with an interior which we are confident will delight our current and future customers. It reduces the age of our fleet. However, it is only one more step in our continued upgrade and expansion, as we are actively pursuing further additions of new aircraft as we advance,” added DiCastri.
