RoyalJet Bermuda (Bermuda), a subsidiary of United Arab Emirates' business charter specialist Royal Jet (ROJ, Abu Dhabi International), has obtained its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) from the Bermudan authorities.
"We at RoyalJet Group are proud to announce that our wholly-owned subsidiary in Bermuda has been granted an AOC by the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority. This is the Group’s first foreign AOC, and it expands our service offering to our existing customers while helping us continue our growth in the global market”, Chief Executive of Royal Jet, Rob DiCastri, said.
The new Bermudan unit operates a single B737-700(BBJ), VP-BRT (msn 32970), which was registered in the UK Caribbean territory before the certification of the local subsidiary. Royal Jet said the aircraft would remain based in Europe.
The Emirati parent airline operates a further eight B737-700(BBJ)s, one B787-8(BBJ), and two Bombardier Global 5000s. All other B737s are registered in the UAE, while the B787 is registered in Guernsey, the ch-aviation fleets module shows. Royal Jet itself is co-owned by Abu Dhabi Aviation and Presidential Flight.
