Qatar Airways' award-winning business class is not the airline's only money-maker.
Unbeknownst to many flyers, Doha-based Qatar has a private charter division called Qatar Executive that caters to the airline's "ultra-high-net-worth individuals."
Founded in 2009, the wholly-owned business sports a fleet of 20 customized private jets, including the Gulfstream G650ER, the recently delivered Gulfstream G700, and the Bombardier Global 5000.
However, the biggest and most extravagant option is the $73 million Airbus ACJ319, which is the business version of the manufacturer's commercial A319 airliner. ACJ stands for Airbus Corporate Jets.
Qatar Executive actually has two versions of the plane, one with a VIP layout and one that serves as an air ambulance with two medical stations.
To get an idea of how the company's most elite customers travel, I toured Qatar Executive's VIP ACJ319 at the Paris Air Show in June — take a look inside.
