A luxuriously equipped Boeing 777-200ER business jet belonging to the Abu Dhabi Amiri (Presidential) Flight arrived from Vancouver at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport late on July 8, 2014. The 777 was delivered from the factory in October 1999 to Saudi Oger. Ltd. as a VIP aircraft registered VP-BRH, and purchased by Abu Dhabi in May 2009.
The Amiri Flight also operates two Boeing 747-400s, a 777-300ER, and a 737-800 BBJ2. On the non-Boeing side it operates an Airbus A320 and an Avro/BAe RJ70 and RJ100. All are VIP configured. The Amiri flight most recently added a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, leased from ILFC, which was delivered Dec. 30, 2013. The Flight is expecting delivery of a BBJ version of the 747-8 which was delivered with no interior from Boeing in December 2012 and is currently undergoing VVIP interior installation in Hamburg, Germany. The Amiri Flight also has a second 747-8 on order.
