silverjet a hit with dubai’s discerning travellers
All-Business Class Airline Offers Private Jet Experience
without the need to own one
Flying to London is about to become more ‘sivilised’, with exclusively business class airline Silverjet launching daily flights between Dubai and London from November 19 2007.
Hot on the heels of its internationally praised London-New York service, the new British private jet style carrier is set to bring its innovative air travel concept to Dubai, offering one of the most pleasurable and hassle-free commercial flying experiences in the world.
Judging by good advanced sales, Dubai’s discerning travellers have warmly welcomed the fresh new mode of travel, which will provide them with the luxury and convenience of a private jet at a fraction of the price.
As the only commercial airline in the world to offer private terminals with dedicated security channels at both ends of a route, the Silverjet service is designed to take the stress out of flying by facilitating its customer’s entire travel journey, while pampering them along the way.
“Audiences in the Middle East have traditionally been very receptive to trademark British customer hospitality and service, as well as acutely appreciative of quality high-end products and services – making Dubai readier than ever for the Silverjet experience,” said Lawrence Hunt, Founder and CEO, Silverjet.
With check-in required just 30 minutes prior to departure, customers can avoid queues and enjoy a range of personalized concierge services upon arrival, including valet parking, meet and greet baggage drop, hot and cold refreshments and chair-side check-in and immigration.
Offering authentic customer service with a contemporary twist, the company has paired up with some of the UK’s leading hospitality providers to help deliver the ultimate in-flight experience aboard its signature Boeing 767 jet.
Complemented by modern furnishings and interiors inspired by the infamous One Aldwych Hotel in London, the refurbished jet has 100 seats in a 2x2x2 configuration which convert into 6ft 3 inch flat beds, in addition to individual privacy screens and a specially designed ladies-only toilet.
Passengers can also enjoy other exclusively tailored services, including sumptuous restaurant-quality meals, freshly prepared halal food, a Qibla service, a ‘sleeper service’ during night flights, and advanced entertainment options including a personal digital in flight system with noise reduction headsets to enable passengers to fully relax.
Flights will arrive and depart from Dubai’s Executive Terminal, where Silverjet is the only commercial airline with access and which had previously only been used by private jets. Located right next to Airport Expo, the Executive Terminal is just a few minutes away from Dubai International Airport (DXB).
The exclusive carrier also has its own private terminal at London Luton Airport – commonly referred to as the private jet capital of the UK and the least congested airport in London – located only 32 miles away from the centre of the city.
Silverjet flights will depart Dubai daily at 1030 and arrive in London Luton Airport at 1445. Return flights depart from London Luton at 2100 and arrive in Dubai at 0830. Connecting flights to New York Newark are also available, departing London Luton Airport at 1645 and arriving 1945 EST.
