Empire Aviation Group Adds First BBJ To Its Charter Fleet

Empire Aviation is delighted to unveil the latest addition to our charter fleet — a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ). This ultra-long-range aircraft is configured to accommodate 18 passengers and four crew members, specifically designed to cater to an array of operations. With the BBJ's capability of flying up to 12 hours non-stop, covering distances of up to 6200nm at speeds of up to 541mph, it will open new possibilities for passengers wanting more onboard options for long-haul trips.

The BBJ offers several amenities for passenger comfort and convenience, which makes it suitable for all types of travellers, including high-level executives, VIPs, celebrities, and heads of state. The spacious cabin spans a length of 79 feet, height of seven feet and width of almost 12 feet, making it an ultra-large-cabin aircraft. The interior design, custom made by renowned Paris-based designer Alberto Pinto, is divided into four main areas: boardroom, lounge, VIP ensuite bedroom, and business office.

Additionally, there are two restrooms, one of which features a shower. The BBJ's spacious interior provides ample room for passengers to move around, relax and work, making it the ultimate private jet for long trips.

Empire Aviation has been providing exceptional business aviation services for over 15 years, with a mission to increase both corporate and leisure travel via private jets. The company has aircraft based across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa from most of the leading aircraft manufacturers. Adding the BBJ to our managed charter fleet takes our services to a new level, providing passengers with a luxurious and comfortable way to travel across long distances.

Fashion photographer Thierry Le Gouès shot some of the nineties’ most memorable images, his work for avant-garde style magazines like i-D and The Face featuring the eradefining models Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Eva Herzigova, and Helena Christensen. Yet he was also one of the first photographers to exclusively feature models of African heritage and ethnicity. The experimentation and innovation that made him a star is captured in 90s By Thierry Le Gouè , a new book released this month by PowerHouse Books, which comprises many striking examples of his awardwinning work.
