Paras Dhamecha executive director EAG stated 'Oman is a relatively small business jet market and we are delighted to be managing three aircraft based there. Finding and acquiring an aircraft is just the start of the ownership process and our specialist team was able to conduct the critical technical inspection of the new aircraft which was acquired directly from Embraer. This detailed inspection by our own experts protects the owner right from the beginning before we arrange delivery and induction into the managed fleet. It's an important part of our asset management service to owners even for new aircraft bought directly from manufacturers.'
