787 Dream Jet arrives in Hong Kong
A new era of 7-star 'Art Aviation'

China's DeerJet, a leading private jet company in Asia, has unveiled the 787 'Dream Jet' - the world’s only aircraft of its kind, featuring ground-breaking innovation and design.

The location of the Dream Jet launch in Hong Kong represents Deer Jet’s strategic move to expand the brand presence into Pan Asia, Europe and other global markets.

Zheng Peng, Chairman and President of DeerJet said, “We are immensely proud to launch the world’s first and only Dream Jet here in Hong Kong. This astounding aircraft, created by Boeing and customized over the last 2½ years, will realize our vision to raise standards of business travel and create an all-new customer experience where aviation meets art. This concept is more than simply a slogan, it is ground-breaking, never seen before innovation and design that ensures travel can be an enjoyable, refreshing, efficient and productive experience, without any of the previously accepted irritations and side effects."

Deer Jet and its local partner, Hongkong Jet, celebrated the official launch of the Dream Jet with a VVIP showcase at Hong Kong International Airport in partnership with 250-year French crystal brand, Baccarat, to bring to life the company’s vision of “art and dreams”. Hongkong Jet’s CEO, Denzil White said, “The introduction of this jet is indicative of Deer Jet’s expansive capabilities and will re-define the charter market space for business travel."

The Dream Jet

The vision of DeerJet’s Dream Jet has been over two-and-a-half years in the making, having left Boeing back in 2014 to under-go a series of specialized modifications. Pierrejean Design Studio of Paris was commissioned to bring to life the company’s vision of bringing elegance and distinction to aviation, and to create an aircraft so unique in form and function that it re-defines business and luxury travel.

The “Dream Jet” is the only business aircraft capable of flight between virtually any two points in the world. It is formed from carbon composite, has a flight range of 16,000km, can fly non-stop for 17.5 hours, and even has design specifications that significantly reduces the effects of turbulence. The new “Smooth Ride” technology helps to minimize the air convection around the body of the aircraft and consequently reduces the effect of flight turbulence on board.

Unique sound-proofing technology lowers in-flight noise levels to as low as 48 decibels, making the cabin comparable to almost any quiet environment on the ground. Inside the jet, the cabin has also been modified to ensure travel and altitude related sickness and fatigue is reduced through a complete air-circulation system effectively that filters the air-borne germs and dust, with Ozone removal and HEPA filtration. An effective air pressure management system maintains the cabin air pressure at 6000ft. altitude, despite actual cruising altitudes of up to 45,000ft. (Most airliners are not able to reach altitudes much higher than 35,000ft).

The Dream Jet has a large cabin of 220m² /6500 ft² and can comfortably accommodate 30 passengers. There is a separate flight crew rest area, a sound-proofed main guest area, spacious living room and entertainment suite, a full-sized master bedroom suite, master washroom with over-sized shower, electric dining and conference tables, and 16 convertible day beds. The cabin also has shape-shifting fixtures and furniture fittings which includes an automated table that can automatically extend for formal dining, meetings, or be hidden away to maximize space.

Each area is independent yet connected to maximize privacy and real estate efficiency. The jet also features series of technological advancements, innovative applications and accessories to create a fully functional flying office, conference center, and luxury home. These include: onboard Wi-Fi, dedicated tablets for cabin control, windows that black out at the press of a button and state-of-the-art business, conferencing and entertainment facilities. Carefully selected butler and on-board services complete the 7star on-board experience.

Peng summed up by saying, “Deer Jet started the business aviation industry in China in 1995; we’re proud of the company’s achievements over the last two decades and now looking ahead to launch our customized tourism and business travel services across the wider region, and globally. I believe that the launch of the Dream Jet demonstrates that Deer Jet is still leads the China business aviation market and is a pioneer in the international market. Our vision hasn’t changed in 21 years; we are committed to building a world-class business aviation brand, the expansion of our international service network, and to becoming a global award-winning business jet operator in China and around the world.”
