RIYADH — NASJET, the largest private aviation operator in the Middle East, is continuing its expansion program with its sights set on setting new standards for the business aviation industry. Plans are to make the company a fully-fledged industry-leading operator with a significant profile worldwide, according to its chief executive office. “With the increased fleet size and the new alliances, NASJET is strongly positioned to move forward in 2015,” said Saad Al-Azwari. “We expect to extend our leading position regionally while expanding our networks globally to become a truly full-service outfit with a strong global brand presence.”
