Qatar Executive (Arabic: القطرية لطائرات رجال الأعمال) is a Qatari private aviation company and business jet operator, operating a wholly owned fleet of long and ultra-long-range business jets tailored for worldwide private charter and bespoke [2] aviation services, including aircraft management and fixed-base operator (FBO) services. [3]
Established on June 16, 2009, at the Paris Air Show, Qatar Executive operates as part of the Qatar Airways Group while delivering private aviation services distinct from the group’s commercial airline operations.[4]
In addition to charter operations, Qatar Executive offers aircraft management, maintenance and FBO services at Doha International Airport. In March 2012, Bombardier appointed Qatar Executive as an Authorized Service Facility for Challenger and Global aircraft in the Middle East.[5]
Fleet
As of May 2026, Qatar Executive operates a wholly owned fleet of long-range and ultra-long range business jets dedicated to worldwide private charter services. The company operates under a floating fleet model, with aircraft repositioned globally according to demand, enabling flexible international operations while minimising unnecessary repositioning flights.
