DC Aviation Al-Futtaim (DCAF), a leading business aviation services provider, has added a Gulfstream G650 to its expanding charter fleet.
The inclusion of the Gulfstream G650, one of the most sought-after ultra-long-range business jets in the world, reflects DCAF’s continued commitment to offering clients high-performance aircraft that combine speed, comfort and global reach.
DCAF has also expanded its managed fleet with the addition of a Bombardier Challenger 650. The charter fleet expansion comes at a time of significant growth in the Middle East’s business aviation sector.
“The addition of the Gulfstream G650 to our charter fleet is a significant milestone for DCAF and a direct response to the escalating demand for ultra-long-range business travel in the region. The G650’s exceptional speed, range and unparalleled cabin comfort align perfectly with our mission to offer our clients the very best in private aviation. As Dubai continues to solidify its position as a global hub for finance, commerce, and leisure, we are proud to provide an aircraft that meets the highest expectations in terms of range, reliability and sophistication.”
The Gulfstream G650 is widely recognized as a benchmark for performance and comfort in the business aviation industry. With a range of up to 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km) and cruising speed of Mach 0.925, the G650 is capable of connecting Dubai to virtually any major city non-stop, including Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Singapore and Auckland.
The aircraft’s spacious cabin, advanced avionics and low cabin altitude deliver superior passenger experience, ideal for business executives, government officials and HNWIs seeking unparalleled performance and comfort.

“Our clients’ travel needs are evolving rapidly, with an increasing emphasis on non-stop intercontinental flights and bespoke itineraries. The G650 enables us to offer exceptional reach and comfort for clients flying from Dubai to global destinations without layovers, saving time and enhancing privacy,” added Ostheimer.
The newly added Gulfstream G650 offers a spacious cabin that comfortably seats up to 15 passengers, with configurations that include fully lie-flat beds for maximum comfort on long-haul flights. Onboard amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi and satellite communications, ensuring passengers stay connected and efficient throughout their journey.
The aircraft’s low cabin altitude of just 3,000 feet at cruising level helps reduce fatigue and jet lag, enhancing overall well-being during extended flights. Complementing the luxurious experience are bespoke catering options and a fully personalized in-flight service, managed by DCAF’s dedicated VIP crew, delivering an exceptional level of care and attention to detail.

All aircraft under the DCAF umbrella benefit from the group’s stringent safety culture, boasting over 40,000 incident-free flight hours. DCAF is also one of only two IS-BAH Stage 3 certified FBOs in the Middle East, further underscoring its commitment to excellence in ground handling and aircraft operations.
