Alex Group Investment’s aviation division has added a Gulfstream G450 to its Falcon Luxe fleet as part of shift toward long-range, large-cabin aircraft.
The G450 represents the second Gulfstream aircraft in Falcon Luxe’s operations. The company recently retired its Dassault 2000 EX to make capacity for the new aircraft.
The G450 offers nonstop range from Dubai to destinations including Zurich, Maldives and Seychelles.
The aircraft features Gulfstream’s signature round windows, which provide enhanced natural light and cabin visibility compared to conventional rectangular windows. The G450’s cabin maintains low noise levels during flight operations.
“We listen closely to what our clients want, their preferences guide everything we do,” said Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, founder and chairman of Alex Group Investment. “The arrival of the Gulfstream G450 is our way to show that we are always one step ahead in meeting their expectations.”
The G450 entered service in 2004 and features a maximum range of 4,350 nautical miles (8,056km). The aircraft accommodates up to 16 passengers in typical configurations and operates with a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.88.
Falcon Luxe operates as the aviation division of Alex Group Investment, providing charter services across the Middle East and international markets. The fleet expansion aligns with increased demand for long-range business aviation in the region.
The G450 joins other mid-size and large-cabin aircraft in serving clients who require extended-range capabilities for international travel. The aircraft’s operational flexibility allows for both regional and transcontinental flights.
Alex Group Investment has not disclosed the acquisition cost or lease terms for the G450. The company plans to integrate the aircraft into its existing charter operations.
