Air Charter Operations

Aqaba is an increasingly popular holiday and tourist destination with various major events due to be staged in the city over coming years. If we combine this with its strategic geographical position and factor in the growing requirement for luxury business and tourist travel in the region, research suggests there will be a significant requirement for HNWI private air transport.                                          Aircraft will use Aqaba as a hub, but be deployed as required around the region as mission profiles develop. Amman, Cairo, Alexandria, Damascus and northern Saudi Arabia are all within helicopter operational range. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, North Africa and Southern Europe are all within a few hours flight for the jet fleet.

Sales Brokerage/Showroom

Aqaba Gate Aviation has set up as a showroom for aircraft, ready for onward sale. Cost of apron parking and hangarage will be charged at a fraction of European, US and Middle Eastern airport rates and the aircraft will be fully maintained by a team of trained engineers. The climate is mild through the winter and there is low humidity through the summer so aircraft are not subject to adverse weather conditions on the ground. Additionally, a sales team, fully immersed in the process of understanding the pre-owned aircraft market, will actively seek to place aircraft with suitable owners.
