Deer Jet recently flew the world’s first 787 Dream Jet to Paris Le Bourget Airport for a three day exhibition between 28-30 June. The Paris stop, part of the series “Dreams Encounter the World” exhibition, took French savoir-faire to new heights, displaying the best of the world’s capital of fashion and art to captivate premium business travellers.

In September 2016 the 787 Dream Jet started operations, and since then Deer Jet has launched the exhibition series “Dreams Encounter the World”. The aircraft has already landed at seven cities in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America, and each time it has arrived at a new destination the cabin has been customized to blend the best of its oriental heritage with local cultural elements.

Paris is defined by a historically artistic environment, which enhanced the 787 Dream Jet by displaying modern art curated by Galerie Dumonteil. In Paris, Deer Jet collaborated with Saint-Louis, the legendary French crystal brand with more than 400 years of history. Puiforcat’s silversmiths also displayed a collection of emblematic silverware boasting more than 200 years of craftsmanship heritage. Deer Jet’s collaborations aimed to make history by elevating business aviation to the artistic sphere.

This was the first appearance of the 787 Dream Jet in Paris, and the aircraft fully captivated the attention of premium business travellers.

The Dream Jet provides an unparalleled experience for demanding customers, thanks to top travel resources, and collaborations with prestigious global brands. The design of the cabin is crucial to enhancing the overall flight experience. Jacques Pierrejean, the renowned French designer specializing in aircraft interior design combined technical skills regarding aircraft interior design and French refinement. It took 2.5 years for the completion of the aircraft.

The 787 Dream Jet can fly non-stop for 17.5 hours, with a maximum range of 16,000 km, between any two cities in world. The aircraft employs the most advanced and ecologically efficient materials. Smooth-ride systems and pressurization technology are incorporated to eliminate flight sickness. To guarantee the best experiences, Deer Jet selects pilots and service crew from sister company Hainan Airlines, a global Top 10 airline, and further upgraded services to seven stars standards through training, forming the “Dream Team”. These, plus Deer Jet’s 22 years of global operation expertise, make of the 787 Dream Jet a masterpiece.

Deer Jet was established in 1995 as the first business jet company of China, and has rapidly evolved to become the largest in Asia, with ambitious goals to become a world’s leading. For that purpose, after acquiring top operator Asia Jet and major shares of the world’s leading trip support company UAS, Deer Jet needed the best product in the world, the 787 Dream Jet

To satisfy the increasing demand for non-stop long-haul premium travel many operators have added long-range aircraft to their fleet, famously converting Boeing 757 and 777 series into VIP configurations. And Deer Jet is taking lead in this trend by introducing the most technological advanced and efficient aircraft to the global business aviation market.

The price of chartering the 787 Dream Jet is RMB 500,000 per hour. The aircraft has attracted constant demand from customers across Europe, United States and the Middle East. The company has formed strategic partnerships with world's top luxury lifestyle and hospitality brands to enhance experiences. Deer Jet has launched its collection of “Dream Journeys” combining 787 Dream Jet round flight charters from Hong Kong to Tahiti, Paris and Rome, and complimentary stays at presidential suites at assorted luxury properties.

The 787 Dream Jet is not only the most efficient business jet in the world, but also serves as a bridge between cultures and businesses from East to West.

Frank Fang, vice president of Deer Jet said: “Our goal is to make travel an art, so we always wanted to come to Paris, the world’s capital of art and fashion, for this exhibition. We are a bridge connecting discerning customers with the best services and products worldwide, and the 787 Dream Jet will help create many new business opportunities. In Paris, we are honored to celebrate the timeless beauty and elegance of French culture. For us, travel is more than a lifestyle, it’s a philosophy. With the 787 Dream Jet, international premium travel will soar to new heights.”

To achieve its ambitious goals, Deer Jet provides an unparalleled experience for demanding customers. Each flight is unique and customised, generating different feelings for different customers each time. This gives customers of the 787 Dream Jet remarkable experiences.

Deer Jet has received so many enquiries for the 787 Dream Jet, making the company consider increasing service capabilities. In May, HNA Group announced in Seattle the purchasing of the second BBJ 787. The aircraft will also be operated by Deer Jet as it forms the world’s largest Dream Jet fleet. This will further expand the company’s share of the global premium travel market.
