Qatar Airways' corporate jet division Qatar Executive has taken delivery of its first Bombardier Global Express XRS, days before exhibiting at EBACE.

The XRS is the first of three new Bombardier aircraft joining Qatar Executive's fleet, starting with a Challenger 605 in July and Global 5000 in August.

The company said that it is at the show to present its "enhanced product portfolio" that includes a 6,300m2 (67,800ft2) maintenance hangar in Doha where other operators' jets can be serviced. Qatar Executive launched in 2009 with two Challenger 605s.
