RoyalJet appoints Shafiul Syed as its new chief executive

This latest development in a new chapter in RoyalJet’s business growth and expansion aspirations

“I am excited to be joining the RoyalJet family at this time.” Syed said. “The Middle East is going through incredible growth and Abu Dhabi, our home, is very key to many of those advancements. We have an incredible opportunity to further push the company forward to the next level on the global arena.”

Syed indicated that his areas of focus will be safety, customer service and strategy development.

“Top of the list is safety. As a premium private jet operator, this is our ultimate responsibility and service towards our guest,” Syed explained. “And because we deal with very high profile VVIP customers, not only should we deliver and meet expectations in service but continue to reinvent and expand through new frontiers.

Syed explained further: “Impeccable safety standards and excellent customer service underpin our daily operations, and we need to continue to evolve and grow with the environment, into the future. With a new composition of Board of Directors, we are poised to trail blaze, whilst growing the business, exploring new geographies and segments. These steps come within the framework of our efforts to build and enhance the success of our distinctive brand, Royal Jet, and consolidate our leading position in the market.”

Mohammed Husain Ahmed, who previously held the post of Royal Jet CEO and has now taken on the role of the Advisor to the Chairman, said: “I am truly excited to welcome Shaf to the Royal Jet family on behalf of the Chairman. The years of experience he has had in the aviation industry truly speak volumes about his leadership and business acumen. This, I believe will drive Royal Jet to even greater heights and help realise the brand’s aspirations to spread its wings further across key markets. I wish him all the best.”
