A Curated Art Collection for Discerning Travelers
Opera Gallery has curated a stunning collection of contemporary masterpieces for this extraordinary project. The selection includes prominent works from international artists like Kenny Scharf, Stephan Marienfeld, Reza Derakshani, and Manolo Valdés, strategically placed within the terminal’s sleek design to create a cultural haven.

“These artworks not only enhance the space but also invite a deeper connection between our guests and the experience they are about to embark on,” says Dumani Ndebele, Regional FBO Director at ExecuJet Middle East. “By integrating world-class art with our luxurious terminal, we create a sophisticated environment that blends aviation with culture.”
Elevating Luxury Travel
This collaboration marks a milestone in redefining the private aviation experience. Opera Gallery’s involvement in the design process ensured a precise curation of 17 pieces from 11 artists, blending emerging and established talents like Noel W. Anderson and Pokras Lampas, bringing diverse cultural perspectives to ExecuJet’s terminal.
“We knew from the start that art would enhance the overall experience at ExecuJet,” says Sylvain Gaillard, Director at Opera Gallery. “The combination of art and aviation creates a space that speaks to the refined tastes of our shared clientele, offering a unique intersection of luxury and cultural sophistication.”

It combines modern architecture with Middle Eastern elements and features fine Italian furnishings from Giorgetti, Minotti, and Poltrona Frau, creating a refined and comfortable atmosphere.
Through its partnership with Opera Gallery, ExecuJet sets a new standard in private aviation, offering passengers an exclusive cultural experience that elevates their journey beyond travel into an unforgettable luxury lifestyle.
