Notes to Editors:
NetJets Middle East is a division of National Air Services and is headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All flights are operated by NAS. The NetJets Middle East fractional aircraft ownership programme is affiliated with NetJets Inc. and is operated under the principles of the NetJets U.S. programme created in 1986 by NetJets Inc. Chairman and CEO Richard Santulli.
Rolls-Royce has a growing presence in the Middle East, where it is playing an important role in the development of the region across all the Group’s sectors – civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
Rolls-Royce forecasts the size of the global corporate aircraft market opportunity at 79,000 engines worth US$110 billion over the next 20 years. Much of this demand is anticipated to come from the Middle East where the company expects a substantial increase in the region’s 220 aircraft fleet, 30 per cent of which is Rolls-Royce powered.
Rolls-Royce powers 15 different in-service business jet types in a fleet of 2,100 aircraft. Over one third of this fleet is covered by a long-term maintenance agreement with Rolls-Royce.
The company’s services activity continues to expand and is valued highly by customers worldwide. Service agreements broaden the opportunity to increase aftermarket revenues, which in turn provide considerable visibility of earnings into the future.
Rolls-Royce has a long history of offering programmes that provide service support of the operator’s engines in return for a fixed payment per hour flown. Its trademarked “Power by the Hour” programme has been in existence against the Viper engine, installed in the Raytheon (HS) 125 corporate jet, for well over 30 years. The company has also managed Fleet Hour Contracts with several customers since the inception of the RB211 engine in the early 1970s. Today, Rolls-Royce has taken its service to new levels with its CorporateCare®, TotalCare™ and On-Wing Care service centre support programmes.
