777-200LR (long range) to Aviation Link Co., an aircraft management

Aviation Link Co. provides total airplane management services
for VIP clients in the Middle East including the airplane purchase,
interior design and completion, as well as operational and
maintenance management. This delivery brings the total to 13
airplanes Aviation Link Co. has managed, ranging from Gulfstreams
to two Boeing 777s.
The 777-200LR interior completion work will begin at Amac
Aerospace of Basel, Switzerland, later this month. An undisclosed,
private owner in the Middle East will take delivery of the airplane
after VIP cabin completion in 2012. "Despite the global economic
downturn, the Middle East region remains a very strong market for
both single-aisle and twin-aisle VIP airplanes," said Steve Taylor,
president of Boeing Business Jets. "Boeing has received both
government and private orders for the 787 Dreamliner, 777 and 747-8
Intercontinental," said Taylor. "Our VIP clientele recognizes the
emphasis on new technology Boeing has designed into our new family
of VIP transports."
"The customer required a widebody aircraft capable of connecting
virtually any two cities in the world nonstop, while carrying a
full cargo load," said Al Rowaished. "After a thorough review of
the market, the 777-200LR was the natural choice. Aviation Link Co.
worked closely with Boeing to ensure the airplane was built
specifically for VIP cabin conversion."
