PRESS RELEASE

BERJAYA LAND ELEVATES LUXURY TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH ACQUISITION OF GLOBAL 6500 BOMBARDIER FOR ASIA JET AIRCRAFT

Date: 27 May 2025

Venue: Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, 27 May 2025 – In a strategic move that redefines the standards of private aviation in the region, Berjaya Land Berhad (Berjaya Land), through its premium aviation subsidiary Asia Jet Sdn Bhd (Asia Jet), proudly unveils the latest jewel in its fleet, the ultra-long-range Bombardier Global 6500

This strategic acquisition marks a powerful leap forward for Asia Jet, opening a new frontier in luxury, connectivity, and bespoke air travel. The Global 6500 Bombardier is not just an aircraft — it is a flying statement of power, prestige, and possibility. Purpose-built for elite travellers, global leaders, and discerning clientele, it embodies the perfect synergy between cutting-edge aerospace innovation and Berjaya Land’s hallmark world-class hospitality.

In a historic achievement, Asia Jet becomes the first operator in Malaysia to register and operate the Bombardier Global 6500 under a Malaysian Air Operator Certificate (AOC), a testament to its leadership in advancing premium private aviation across Southeast Asia.

A New Chapter in Luxury Aviation

The Bombardier Global 6500 delivers an unrivalled combination of range, speed, space, and technology. With an extraordinary range of 6,600 nautical miles and a cruising speed of Mach 0.90, this aircraft is engineered to fly non-stop from Kuala Lumpur to global capitals like London, Egypt, Tokyo and even as far as Iceland. (The aircraft range is also subject to variation based on wind conditions, weather, payload, and airspace availability or restrictions at the time of operation.)

Inside, its cabin offers 15 seats in an elite configuration, delivering a bespoke and immersive inflight experience that includes:

3 spacious living areas including a private suite with an adjoining en-suite offering unrestricted access to the luggage bay
Convertible full lie-flat beds for deep rest and overnight travel
Five-star dining, curated by onboard culinary specialists
The fastest in-flight Wi-Fi in its class for seamless global connectivity
Advanced air purification system for superior inflight wellness
Next-generation wing and engine design for reduced vibration and ultra-smooth ride
Enhanced cockpit technology designed to maximise operational safety and flight precision

Flying Farther — and Greener

One of the Global 6500’s most significant attributes is its focus on fuel efficiency and environmental performance, which aligns with Berjaya Land’s commitment to sustainable business practices. The aircraft features a highly optimised aerodynamic design, lightweight composite materials, and next generation engines that deliver a notably reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional long range jets.

This efficiency translates to lower emissions per passenger and enhanced operational sustainability without compromising luxury or performance. With each flight, Asia Jet contributes to a more responsible aviation ecosystem, showcasing how elegance and environmental consciousness can coexist at 45,000 feet.

This commitment to sustainability extends beyond air travel, as the Global 6500 also plays a role in enabling eco-conscious tourism experiences across Berjaya Land’s hotel destinations, connecting the skies with the land through purpose-driven luxury.

Connecting Asia to Iceland – A Journey Like No Other

Thanks to the Global 6500’s exceptional range, Asia Jet can now offer direct, ultra-luxurious journeys from Malaysia to Iceland — one of Berjaya Land’s most distinctive international hospitality markets. From the moment clients step on board to their arrival in Reykjavík, they are immersed in a carefully crafted premium travel experience that integrates airborne opulence with world-class hotel living.

Berjaya Land’s properties in Iceland offer exclusive access to the country’s majestic natural landscapes, geothermal wonders, and Nordic hospitality — all now seamlessly accessible through Asia Jet’s new ultra-long-range service. This destination pairing of luxury flight and unforgettable lodging elevates the overall guest experience and reinforces Berjaya Land’s unique ability to offer fully curated global lifestyle journeys.

Strategic Synergy: Travel, Lifestyle, and Luxury

Asia Jet’s strengthened fleet now enhances Berjaya Land’s position as a leading premium lifestyle group, connecting its aviation capabilities with its award-winning portfolio of luxury resorts, residences, and experiences across Asia and Europe.

This acquisition supports the group’s ability to offer:

Customised tourism packages for elite clientele
Exclusive corporate and diplomatic charters
Luxury travel solutions tied to high-profile events and executive movements
Integrated lifestyle experiences that begin in the skies and extend into memorable stays

“This is more than just a new aircraft. It represents Berjaya Land’s unwavering commitment to innovation, customer excellence, and sustainable luxury. The Global 6500 Bombardier gives us the ability to connect global markets, elevate premium service standards, and reinforce our identity as an integrated lifestyle brand. It’s a game changer not just for Berjaya, but for the future of private aviation in the region.” said Syed Ali Shahul Hameed, Group CEO of Berjaya Land Berhad.

With the Global 6500’s arrival, Asia Jet reaffirms its role as a forward-thinking force in private aviation, championing a future where luxury, sustainability, and seamless global travel go hand in hand.
