Genesis Custom Jetliners, the leading value option in the commercial aircraft conversion and luxury business jet markets, has opened a primary sales office in Dubai, headed by Bilal Yousuf. The announcement was made during the Middle East Business Aviation exhibition.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 20, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Genesis Custom Jetliners, the leading value option in the commercial aircraft conversion and luxury business jet markets, has opened a primary sales office in Dubai, headed by Bilal Yousuf. The announcement comes on the first day of the Middle East Business Aviation exhibition here, where sales meetings are underway.

Prior to joining Genesis, Yousuf was with Royal Jet for five years, serving as Vice President, Business Development & Strategic Planning, and earlier as Vice President, Maintenance & Engineering. Yousuf, a certified aircraft technician, mechanical engineer and a private pilot, brings over 20 years of experience in the aviation industry, in which he has also held positions with NetJets, Alsalam Aircraft Company and Continental Airlines.

“We are thrilled to welcome Bilal to our team. His extensive background in the industry makes him a great asset to our organization. With Bilal’s lead, we are energized to share our full product line in the Middle East region and beyond,” said Victoria Ricks, Vice President of Marketing for Genesis.

Genesis offers high-quality previously operated airliners converted to private luxury travel suites designed to customer specifications. A completed Genesis Custom Jetliner “GCJ,” is the best value-option available, providing customers with the finest quality craftsmanship, value-based pricing and eliminating long lead times that have become such a barrier to entry for eager buyers.

“Genesis offers a new choice in private air travel – one that delivers the optimum travel experience while ensuring the market’s maximum value for the investment. Genesis has filled a critical void in the market for VIP aircraft,” said Yousuf. “As the leading value option, Genesis has a great need for a presence in the Middle East. I am proud to have been selected to officially introduce the product to the region.”

With a premier, full service completion center, an industry leading design and certification engineering team, a resourceful financial engineering group and world-class craftsmanship and interior design, Genesis truly is a single-source solution for VIP aircraft needs. All with acquisition prices and lead times that are more favorable than those of key competitors. A wide range of aircraft types is available for conversion to GCJ’s, including the MD80 Family, B737 Classic Family, A320 Family, B737 NG Family, and more.

Pricing options can start below $20 million and go up with newer airframes and premium interior options. However, regardless of the airframe selected, a GCJ is always delivered with a brand new custom interior, new paint, auxiliary fuel tanks as required to meet the customer’s mission requirements, and fresh up-to-date maintenance, ensuring that a GCJ looks, feels and performs like a brand new aircraft. The market for GCJ’s include global business leaders and corporations; heads of state and government entities; high net worth and other private individuals.

“Cabin space and amenities are on par with that of the Boeing Business Jet and the Airbus Corporate Jetliner, but the acquisition cost of a GCJ is only a fraction of the current market values of a comparable BBJ/ACJ. As for smaller jets, which may meet us on price point, a GCJ offers multiple-times the cabin space and passenger and payload capacity,” Ricks said.

As an example of the value it can offer, Genesis compares a 737-300 GCJ with the addition of winglets, auxiliary fuel tanks, fresh maintenance, new paint and new, high-quality custom interior which could be acquired for as low as $25 - 35 million. For the passenger, this aircraft and the experience it offers are very similar to that of a BBJ, which may cost 2-3 times that price. It may not be for everyone, the company says, but for some, this provides a great benefit.

“Our purpose at Genesis Custom Jetliners is to provide you with the fastest and most practical solution to owning your private jetliner,” Yousuf added. “Acquiring a GCJ is simple. We help you pick the best airframe for your mission and sign a contract to deliver your completed aircraft with your brand new custom interior and paint within 12 months for an agreed fixed price.”

In addition to producing and selling the GCJ product, Genesis also manages refurbishment and completion projects for customer’s existing aircraft, and all of the independent services that surround these jobs, including project management, engineering and certification, design consulting and more.

Genesis Custom Jetliners is the leading provider of high-quality, previously operated airliners that have been transformed into private, luxury travel suites designed to customer specifications. With a simple, streamlined process, Genesis offers corporations, government entities and private individuals all the luxury, productivity, cabin space, and world-class interior design at a fraction of the acquisition cost of key competitors.
