All-business 26-seat aircraft flying non-stop between RAK and the Gulf's key cities. The feel of private aviation — at commercially accessible fares. First flight in 2027.
We don't compete with the big hub carriers. We compete with inconvenience — transfers, wasted hours and a fragmented luxury experience.
Non-stop into Ras Al Khaimah itself. No Dubai transfer, no connection bank — your resort, hours sooner.
An all-business cabin with exclusive 1-by-1 seating, direct aisle access and a window at every seat.
A programme built with RAK's resorts — recognition and privileges that follow you from cabin to check-in.
Twenty-six guests per departure. A guest-list scale of travel that commercial aviation cannot offer.
Every route flies point-to-point into RAK International (RKT) — minutes from Al Marjan Island's resorts.

A regional aircraft reimagined as a private lounge: every seat on the aisle, every seat at the window.
Cabin renderings and specifications are conceptual and subject to certification by the relevant airworthiness authorities.
The real cost of reaching a RAK resort today isn't just the ticket — it's the Dubai layover and the hour on the highway that follows.
