Royal Jet boosts presence in UK and European markets through dedicated sales office
Abu Dhabi based luxury jet operator appoints new UK Sales Manager
Royal Jet - the international luxury executive flight services company based in Abu Dhabi - continues to boost its presence in the UK and European markets through its dedicated sales office at London Stansted Airport.
Situated at a facility owned by Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) Group – the UAE’s leading aviation service provider – the combination of Royal Jet, Maximus Air Cargo – the UAE’s largest dedicated cargo aircraft operator – and Abu Dhabi Aviation – the largest Middle East commercial helicopter and fixed wing aircraft operator – offers customers total aviation solutions platform through a selection of wide-ranging products and services in a one-stop-shop environment that also enhances the Group’s presence in the region.
Royal Jet has appointed Desiree Martis as Sales Manager - Europe, Russia & Central Asia to be based in the UK office. Martis’ rich 24-year experience is expected to further boost the private jet operator’s growth targets as it has been spreading its wings through GSA appointments in India and Oman. The UK office became operational in May 2010.
Martis, who has worked for Royal Jet since 2006, is well experienced in two of the key services offered by Royal Jet, namely luxury VIP charter and medical evacuation services. She will push forward the company’s main vision of establishing Royal Jet as the preferred choice within the region through the delivery of service excellence and creation of strong business partnerships across relevant market segments. These segments include air charter brokers, corporate entities, High-Net-Worth-Individuals, government entities and insurance companies.
“Desiree Martis is finely-tuned into Royal Jet’s vision of growth and development strategy and will be able to take the company to its desired objectives in the UK and Europe,” said Shane O’Hare, President & CEO, Royal Jet.
“Since May last year, we have made significant inroads into the European market and are pleased that our vision to be amongst the world’s leading luxury flight services company is bearing fruit. With Martis appointment, and her vast sales experience, we hope to see that grow further.”
Further to its objectives for the region, Royal Jet will be participating in Europe's leading event for the business travel & meetings industry, ‘The Business Travel & Meetings Show’ on 8 and 9 February at Earls Court Exhibition Centre in West London.
The company will showcase its latest product and services offerings at the show, including its corporate relationship programme – the ‘100 Club’. The programme allows all customers – from individuals to corporates - to profit from an attractive range of benefits, including increased discounts, depending on the type of aircraft usage and the number of hours flown.
O’Hare indicated that Royal Jet’s existing relationships in this market have been further complemented by its UK representative office and that working together with its partners under the ADA Group has not only boosted business opportunities for UAE-based aviation services companies, but also met the requirements of their loyal customers in the European markets.
“Royal Jet, which is chaired by HE Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, works with a number of key brokers and customers in the region and this venture will definitely help us increase our market share. Indeed, working alongside our partners from the UAE to offer a one-stop-shop destination for any and all aviation service requirements is ideally suited for our niche customers, and enables us to showcase to the European market the high quality of service that UAE-based companies provide,” said O’Hare.
