The Flight International magazine Aviation Excellence Awards has been presented presented to G5 Executive at the Asian Aerospace Exhibition in Singapore.The award suggested G5 Executive was “widely admired for its skilled, safe and cost-effective exploitation of aircraft worldwide. Earning such a reputation in a tough-minded industry is a great tribute to the team that operates the fleet.”

G5 Executive will by March be operating a fleet of four Gulfstream’s (a G5, two G550’s and a G450) and an Embraer Legacy. G5 Executive started its Swiss based operation in 1998 and has been working hard since to achieve the high levels of security, and service for which they are known.
“Having been in the business for over 30 years helps” says Peter Fried CEO, but at the end it is all about people. The most important criteria for us when choosing our employees, beside the professional qualifications, is their ability to work as a member of a small team. Fun and team spirit do not exclude professionalism, rather the contrary.” The G5 Executive team is multilingual and multicultural with 10 different nationalities.
All age groups are hosted on-board the aircraft, so far the youngest passenger was a newborn baby, the oldest a charming lady with more than 90 years of life experience. The guests have different religions and cultures, a flight attendant needs to be qualified to host a Japanese business man or a rabbi, an African king with an entourage, a Russian tycoon, or a family with seven children. It is important to provide all guests a safe and discreet and luxurious environment when they are flying, the onboard service is tailor made to each guests wishes and requirements.
The G5 product is all crafted in-house, once a flight has been sold, the dispatch office with latest available technology continues the work. They route the aircraft, apply for over flight permissions and landing rights and pre organise the formalities upon arrival. G5 Executive being certified by the US authorities for unrestricted commercial flights to and from the US. Specially trained technicians maintain the aircraft and cabin in an immaculate condition giving an exceptional dispatch record.

“We stand out because the G5 team is a family with heart and soul, a group of real people. They are our most valuable asset; there is something about this team that goes beyond our actual business, of flying.”
