ExecuJet Middle East Expands Ultra-Long-Range Jet Fleet
Catering to elite travelers, the high-end carrier is updating its fleet with next-gen jets, redefining private aviation standards.
In response to rising global mobility among ultra-high-net-worth individuals and increased demand for high-performance aircraft, ExecuJet Middle East is expanding its fleet with some of the most advanced large-cabin jets on the market. The move signals a strategic shift toward smarter, more personalized ownership experiences and reflects the evolving expectations of a globally connected clientele.
Based at its new flagship terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), ExecuJet is strengthening its regional presence with the addition of ultra-long-range aircraft such as the Bombardier Global 7500, Global 6000, Global 5000, Challenger 650, Gulfstream G650ER, Dassault Falcon 7X, Falcon 8X, and the Boeing Business Jet. These aircraft represent the leading edge of performance, efficiency, and cabin innovation — designed to deliver effortless long-haul travel with maximum comfort and privacy.

Headlining the fleet is the Bombardier Global 7500, featuring cutting-edge avionics, luxurious interiors and the ability to fly over 7,700 nautical miles nonstop, connecting Dubai with key global destinations like New York, Tokyo, and Sydney.
While most aircraft in the fleet are privately owned and not offered for charter, the expansion enhances ExecuJet’s operational agility — supporting better crewing, aircraft management, and personalized service models tailored to owners’ needs across the region.
“As the demands of private aviation continue to evolve, our focus remains on delivering a seamless, intelligent and globally connected ownership experience,” said Khalid Al Hai, Board Member, ExecuJet Middle East. “This fleet expansion represents not only a response to growing client needs but also a reflection of our long-term vision to set new benchmarks in operational excellence and personalized service”.

Patrick Hansen, CEO of parent company Luxaviation Group, echoed the sentiment, adding, “ExecuJet Middle East’s fleet expansion is a strong step toward delivering advanced, tailored solutions for the next generation of jet owners”.
Looking ahead, ExecuJet Middle East aims to manage 30 aircraft by 2030. This target will be supported by investments in fleet optimization technologies and enhanced fixed-base operation (FBO) and hangar infrastructure at strategic international locations.
This milestone reflects ExecuJet’s broader commitment to shaping the future of private aviation — where technological innovation, global reach, and personalized ownership converge to meet the lifestyle demands of modern business leaders and private clients.

Nano Banana 2 Arrives In MENA For Google Gemini Users
Google brings its latest image model to Gemini and Search, adding 4K output and tighter text control for regional users.
Google has opened access to Nano Banana 2 across the Middle East and North Africa, pushing its newest image model into everyday tools rather than keeping it inside the exclusive (and expensive) Pro tier.
The rollout spans the Google Gemini desktop and mobile apps, and extends to Google Search through Lens and AI Mode. Developers can also test it in preview via AI Studio and the Gemini API.
Nano Banana 2 runs on Gemini Flash, Google’s fast inference layer. The focus is speed, but also control. Users can export visuals from 512px up to 4K, adjusting aspect ratios for everything from vertical social posts to widescreen displays.
The model maintains character likeness across up to five figures and preserves fidelity for as many as 14 objects within a single workflow. This enables visual continuity across scenes, iterations, or edits — supporting projects like short films, storyboards, and multi-scene narratives. Text rendering has also been improved, delivering legible typography in mockups and greeting cards, with built-in translation and localization directly within images.

Under the hood, the system taps Gemini’s broader knowledge base and pulls in real-time information and imagery from web search to render specific subjects more accurately. Lighting and fine detail have been upgraded, without slowing output.
By embedding the model inside Gemini and Search, Google is normalizing advanced image generation for a mass audience. In MENA, where startups and marketing teams are leaning heavily on AI to scale content across languages and borders, that shift lands at a practical moment.
The move also folds creative tooling deeper into search itself, so that image generation is no longer a separate workflow. It now sits right next to the query box.
