Metrojet has added five Gulfstream business jets to its managed fleet, bringing its tally to 16 Gulfstream aircraft, the Hong Kong-based business aviation services provider announced. “Gulfstream is delighted to see this latest addition to Metrojet’s managed fleet, which reflects the continued growth and popularity of Gulfstream aircraft in the region,” Gulfstream Aerospace senior v-p of worldwide sales Scott Neal said.

Gulfstream and Metrojet have had a long-standing partnership, beginning in 2001 with the receipt of its first GIV in 2001. In 2020, Metrojet expects to see additional Gulfstream jets enter its managed fleet because it’s one of the most popular business jet OEMs in the region, according to Metrojet CEO Gary Dolski. “We are also pleased to provide seamless maintenance support to the full family of aircraft through our approved warranty facility in Hong Kong and our soon-to-be-completed—in Q2 2020—new hangar and parking facility in Clark, the Philippines,” he added.

Denzil White, Metrojet’s managing director of aircraft management and charter, explained that 2019 was a tough business environment for the region. “Given the recessionary environment, Metrojet is pleased with the steady growth,” White said.
