The aircraft, which is already serving client needs, comfortably seats 12 passengers in its newly outfitted, contemporary styled, all white cabin. The front of the cabin incorporates seating for 10 in a combination of club seating, whilst the aft provides two club seating along with a three seat divan that can be turned into a bed for overnight flights.  Destined for long range flights the cabin also benefits from the capacity to reconfigure the seating; and features an integrated Bluray entertainment system with a cabin management system. With an operating range of 5000 nautical miles it is anticipated the aircraft will be popular with those requiring links between south and north Africa, in addition to connections between Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The addition of the Global to Vertis’ South African mix further strengthens its heavy jet offering in the region acknowledging that many trips are long intra- as well as inter-continental. “The growing Vertis customer base is defined by Heads of State, ultra-high net worth individuals, and captains of industry, so we want to be sure we can provide the most suitable aircraft for their needs. The opportunity is immense which is why we have added this latest aircraft to the fleet,” said Jeffery Emmenis, Partner Vertis Aviation.
