Falcon ترحب بأولى طائراتها من طراز Gulfstream: طائرة G450 الاستثنائية

دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — تشرع شركة Falcon في فصل جديد في مسيرتها. فقد رحّب قسم الطيران في مجموعة Alex Group Investment رسميًا بانضمام طائرة Gulfstream G450  الشهيرة إلى أسطول طائراتها. يمثّل هذا الإنجاز خطوة واضحة إلى الأمام في جهود الشركة لتزويد العملاء برحلات ذات مدى أطول وراحة أكبر وتجربة أفضل في مجال السفر بالطائرات الخاصة.

تنضم طائرة G450 إلى وحدة أعمال Falcon Luxe كأولى الطائرات من سلسلة Gulfstream، وتندرج في إطار الاستراتيجية الأوسع للشركة التي تهدف إلى التركيز على الطائرات الطويلة المدى ذات المقصورة الكبيرة التي تلبي الاحتياجات المتطورة للمسافرين العالميين اليوم. هذا وقد عمدت Falcon مؤخرًا إلى إحالة طائرتها من طراز Dassault 2000 EX إلى التقاعد، ما يفسح المجال أمام تشغيل جيل جديد من الطائرات طويلة المدى.

لماذا Gulfstream؟ لأنه اسم يحمل وقعاً قوياً وتأثيراً بالغاً. تعدّ عائلة طائرات Gulfstream نجمة في السماء، وهي واحدة من الطائرات الخاصة الأكثر طلباً وإثارة للإعجاب في العالم. كما تعدّ من الطائرات المعروفة من المسافرين، وتحظى بتقديرهم لما توفره من راحة وأداء موثوق.

تعد النوافذ الدائرية من أشهر سمات تصميم طائرات Gulfstream. فهي تملأ المقصورة بالضوء الطبيعي، وتوفر مناظر خلابة أثناء الطيران، وغالبًا ما يستخدمها المسافرون والمؤثرون لالتقاط صور جميلة أثناء الرحلة.

تساهم طائرة Gulfstream G450  في جعل الرحلات الطويلة أسهل وأكثر راحة. ويتيح أداؤها السلس ومقصورتها الهادئة تحويل ساعات الطيران إلى رحلة هادئة ومريحة. وبفضل مداها الطويل العابر للقارات، الذي يسمح بالرحلات المباشرة من دبي إلى زيورخ، أو جزر المالديف، أو سيشل، أو موسكو، صُممت هذه الطائرة للمسافرين الذين يُقدّرون المسافة وراحة البال.

وقد شارك السيد Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene، مؤسس ورئيس مجلس إدارة Alex Group Investment ، أفكاره حول هذه الإضافة المميزة، وقال في هذا السياق: “نحن ملتزمون بالإصغاء عن كثب لمطالب عملائنا ورغباتهم، ونستند إلى تفضيلاتهم كعنصر أساسي لتوجيه كل ما نقوم به من عمليات. بالتالي، فإن إدراج  Gulfstream G450 في أسطول طائراتنا هو طريقتنا في إظهار حرصنا على أن نكون دائمًا سبّاقين في توقّع احتياجاتهم وتلبيتها. هذه هديتنا لهم، ووعد منا بأن Falcon Luxe ستمنحهم كل ما يحتاجونه في السماء.”

Falcon Welcomes Its First Gulfstream: The Iconic G450

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new chapter begins at Falcon. The aviation division of Alex Group Investment has officially welcomed the iconic Gulfstream G450 into its fleet, a clear step forward in offering clients more range, more comfort, and an even better private jet experience.

The G450 joins Falcon Luxe’s first–ever Gulfstream as part of a broader strategy to focus on long–range, large–cabin aircraft that meet the evolving needs of today’s global travellers. Falcon recently retired its Dassault 2000 EX, making room for a new generation of long–range aircraft.

Why Gulfstream? Because it’s a name that resonates. The Gulfstream range are the star of the skies, one of the most admired and requested private jets in the world. It’s the kind of aircraft people recognize and appreciate for comfort and performance.

Its round windows are one of Gulfstream’s most famous design features. They fill the cabin with natural light, offer amazing views while flying, and are often used by travellers and influencers to take beautiful photos during the flight.

The Gulfstream G450 makes long flights feel easy. Its smooth performance and quiet cabin turn hours in the air into a calm, comfortable journey. With non–stop range from Dubai to Zurich, Maldives, Seychelles, or Moscow, it’s built for travellers who value both distance and peace of mind.

Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investment, shared his thoughts on this exciting addition: “We listen closely to what our clients want, their preferences guide everything we do. The arrival of the Gulfstream G450 is our way to show that we are always one step ahead in meeting their expectations. This is our gift to them, a promise that with Falcon Luxe, they have everything they need in the sky.”

A Day with Jimmy O. Yang in Hong Kong

HONG KONG, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hollywood star and Hong Kong–born comedian Jimmy O. Yang (Jimmy) recently returned to his hometown, bringing his celebrated stand–up comedy to local audiences for the first time. Beyond the stage, he took the opportunity to rediscover the vibrancy, culture and contrasts of the city he calls home. From ancient temples and breathtaking natural scenery to sizzling Cantonese barbecue and renowned Asia’s top cocktail spot, Jimmy’s day in Hong Kong became a journey through the city’s most defining experiences, inviting others to embark on their own adventures.

Cultural Immersion in the Heart of the City

Jimmy immersed himself in the rich heritage of Hong Kong at the historic Man Mo Temple in Sheung Wan, which has stood proud for nearly 180 years. Here, he took part in a series of time–honoured rituals, including touching the Writing Brush on the statue of Man Cheong, the ancient Chinese God of Literature; handling the sword of Guan Di, a third–century Chinese general; and making a heartfelt wish by applying gold foil to the temple’s golden deer statue. These quiet moments offered Jimmy a personal connection to his heritage, while also reflecting the deep spiritual roots embedded into the modern metropolis.

From Skyline to Scenic Vistas

Jimmy made his way to Ngong Ping 360 during the day, where he soared above lush greenery and dramatic mountain vistas aboard a Crystal+ cable car, adorned with special welcome decals for the occasion. Jimmy strolled through Ngong Ping Village and then embarked on the invigorating climb of 268 steps to reach the majestic Big Buddha. From this vantage point, he admired the verdant expanses of the city, marveling at how nature is so close to urban life.

Flavours That Tell a Story

Jimmy visited a neighborhood favourite eatery, where he sampled a delightful spread of classic local dishes, including succulent pork belly, tender pork jowl char siu, Maotai soy sauce chicken, roast goose and more.

The day continues at the Asia’s best bar. He savoured an array of signature cocktails that highlighted the bar's innovative flair, complemented by smoky olives that offered a unique twist to his tasting experience. This vibrant setting allowed Jimmy to fully embrace the elegance and energy that make Hong Kong’s nightlife truly exceptional.

Experience Jimmy’s Hong Kong

“From savouring char siu at a local favorite to sipping world–class cocktails in the Asia’s best bar, Hong Kong’s food scene is an adventure in itself. Every meal, whether it’s a humble street–side delight or a globally acclaimed cocktail, tells the story of a city that thrives on flavor, energy, and unforgettable contrasts — all within a single day. As someone who was born here, I can attest to the vibrant tapestry of tastes that shaped my childhood,” says Jimmy O. Yang. “Having spent my early years in Hong Kong, I’ve always felt the vibrant pulse of my hometown, a place where tradition and innovation coexist beautifully. In just one day, you can immerse yourself in centuries of heritage and the wonders of nature, all while experiencing the dynamic spirit that makes Hong Kong truly one of a kind. This city will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Hong Kong Tourism Board Brings a Taste of The City to Art Basel in Basel

Hong Kong Bar at Art Basel in Basel 2025, courtesy of Hong Kong Tourism Board

HONG KONG, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is excited to announce its upcoming activation at Art Basel in Basel 2025, presenting the Hong Kong Bar from 19 – 22 June 2025. To bring the project to life, HKTB are collaborating with Hong Kong artist Phoebe Hui to debut her new installation, Under the Moonlight, imbuing the bar with a captivating energy. This will be the first time HKTB showcases the city’s unique culture at Art Basel’s flagship show, as part of their pioneering three–year global partnership with the brand – inviting visitors from around the world to experience the vibrant artistic spirit and dynamic energy of Hong Kong.

HKTB Executive Director Dane Cheng said, “We are committed to sharing Hong Kong’s artistic dynamism and vibrant culture at Art Basel through our three–year global partnership with the fair, connecting with audiences from around the world on this prestigious platform. At Art Basel in Basel, we will showcase the inspiring neighbourhood of ‘Old Town Central’ – transporting visitors to the bustling atmosphere of Hong Kong life with the unique flavours offered on our ‘Hong Kong Bar’ menu. We are also honoured to be working with local artist Phoebe Hui, who will captivate audiences with her installation. We hope that you enjoy raising a glass at the ‘Hong Kong Bar’.”

Angelle Siyang–Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong, said: “We are thrilled to bring the vibrant spirit of Hong Kong to the heart of Art Basel in Basel, our mothership of fairs, showcasing not only our city’s rich cultural heritage but also its dynamic and evolving identity. Through the Hong Kong Bar and the collaboration with Phoebe Hui, we invite visitors to experience Hong Kong’s unique blend of tradition and innovation – where every detail, from the Yuen Yeung Martini to the immersive design inspired by Central Market, tells a story of resilience, creativity, and community. This platform marks a significant milestone in our global partnership with Hong Kong Tourism Board, reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a leading cultural hub that bridges East and West.”

A Taste of Hong Kong’s Heritage: Inspired by Old Town Central and Central Market
The Hong Kong Bar will immerse visitors in the lively atmosphere of Hong Kong’s Old Town Central neighbourhood, featuring a signature cocktail inspired by the city’s distinctive flavours. The “Yuen Yeung Martini” blends vodka and coffee with the famous Hong Kong–style milk tea to offer an energising refreshment for fair visitors. Accompanied by a curated menu of other special cocktails and snacks inspired by Hong Kong’s culinary heritage, visitors will embark on a multisensory journey exploring Hong Kong’s layered urban identity, combining authentic local delicacies with immersive design and art, presenting a holistic experience that captures the city’s essence. Aligning with Art Basel’s flagship fair in Basel, HKTB will showcase the heart of Hong Kong’s cultural scene on the world’s stage.

The bar’s design is inspired by the iconic landmark of Central Market, the first permanent indoor market in Hong Kong’s Old Town Central area dating back to the 19th century. The marketplace played a quintessential part of Hong Kong daily life, hosting lively food stalls and retail spaces. Now, the revitalised community space bridges the past with the present, symbolising the city’s layered and ever–evolving urban identity and providing ample inspiration for the Hong Kong Bar. At Art Basel in Basel, HKTB will embody Central Market’s architectural charm and lively atmosphere, transforming the space into a living tribute to the neighbourhood's legacy for visitors to engage with the city’s cultural narrative through a blend of taste, space, and story. 


Artistry and Culture: Capturing the City’s Rhythm
Local artist Phoebe Hui, whose captivating moon–themed pieces and research–driven practice explores how technology shapes our perception of reality, will debut a brand–new installation titled Under the Moonlight, illuminating the bar setting. Hui’s work utilises technology and machine learning to reimagine the moon’s phases, reminiscent of Hong Kong’s energetic, dazzling nights, as well as evoking powerful symbolism in Chinese culture of immortality, femininity, success, and purity. Drawing inspiration from the constantly shifting cycles of the moon, the specially commissioned piece adds an element of poetic and meditative ambiance, echoing the city’s rhythm of constant change and resilience.

Phoebe Hui said, “Hong Kong, famed for neon lights and a city that never sleep — this work offers an introspective pause beneath the moonlight. Moonlight shimmers softly yet sharp, a gauze where neon and quiet hues entwine, neither fully present nor absent. Under the moon’s shifting glow, Hong Kong reveals its contemplative heart, folding the night into layers of color and memory — a whispered dialogue between distant stars and crowded streets.”

A Platform for Global Cultural Exchange
HKTB’s showcase at Art Basel in Basel is a continuation of its ongoing partnership with Art Basel and underscores Hong Kong’s commitment to presenting the city as a leading center for art and culture. Art lovers and cultural enthusiasts from around the world are invited to rediscover Hong Kong as a city that thrives at the intersection of heritage and modernity.

Falcon تدعم شركات الطيران التجارية بفضل حلولها الموثوقة في مجال عمليات الطيران

دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة , June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  مع تنامي حركة الطيران والزيادة المستمرة في أعداد الرحلات الجوية والمسافرين، والاضطرابات التي تربك العمليات الاقليمية وتزيدها تعقيداً، تواجه شركات الطيران التجارية ضغوطات متزايدة لجهة الحفاظ على المرونة والتشغيل الآمن، إلى جانب توفير الرحلات الفعالة من حيث التكلفة.   

في مواجهة هذه الظروف، تدأب شركة Falcon، وهي إحدى الشركات ضمن مجموعة Alex Group Investment، على دعم شركات الطيران التجارية من خلال وحدة أعمال خدمات دعم الطيران التابعة لها Falcon Flight Support services. تتولى هذه الوحدة تزويد شركات الطيران التجارية بخدمات التخطيط للرحلات، والحصول على التراخيص، والتزوّد بالوقود، فضلاً عن خدمات المناولة الأرضية للطائرات أثناء وجودها على أرض المطار.

تحتاج شركات الطيران إلى دعم منتظم في مجال عمليات الطيران، خاصة لدى إطلاق مسارات جديدة لرحلاتها، أو لدى إعادة تموضع الطائرات لأسباب فنية، أو لغاية الحصول على تصاريح جماعية وموسمية. ونظراً لما تتطلّبه هذه العمليات من تنسيق وتعاون بين سلطات الطيران المدني المختلفة، والمناولين المحليين، فضلاً عن السلطات التنظيمية الإقليمية، تتولى Falcon إدارة جميع هذه العمليات، لضمان بقاء الرحلات الجوية في الوقت المحدد ومتوافقة مع مختلف اللوائح والقوانين.

وفي هذا السياق، قال السيد Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene، مؤسس ورئيس مجلس إدارة مجموعة Alex Group Investment: “بصفتنا شركة مشغّلة للطائرات، فإننا ندرك تماماً أن الظروف قد تتغيّر بشكل مفاجىء وسريع في هذه المنطقة، وأن المسارات المفتوحة والصالحة للطيران اليوم قد تقفل غداً وتصبح محظورة.” وأضاف: “هذا هو السبب الذي دفعنا إلى إنشاء وحدة أعمال Falcon Flight Support، لتتيح لنا التصرف بسرعة والإبقاء على انتظام حركة الرحلات الجوية. نحن لا ننتظر وقوع المشاكل، إنما نسعى لاستباقها ومعالجتها قبل أن تتطور.”

لطالما كان استهلاك الوقود وتكاليفه مصدر قلق رئيسي آخر لشركات الطيران التجارية، خاصة عند تشغيل طائراتها في المطارات النائية أو الأصغر حجماً. إلا أن وحدة أعمال Falcon Flight Support تتولى مساعدة شركات الطيران في الحصول على أفضل الأسعار لشراء الوقود، مستفيدة من علاقاتها القوية مع المورّدين الموثوق بهم في المواقع المزدحمة والتي يصعب الوصول إليها.

Falcon Supports Commercial Airlines with Reliable Flight Operations Solutions

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As air traffic increases and regional operations grow more complex, commercial airlines are under greater pressure to stay flexible, safe, and cost–efficient.

Falcon, part of Alex Group Investment, supports commercial airlines through its Falcon Flight Support services, helping with flight planning, permits, fuel, and ground handling. This is especially important now, as the region faces rising tensions between countries, causing airspace closures and sudden route changes.

Airlines regularly need flight support when launching new routes, repositioning aircraft due to technical reasons, or applying for block and seasonal permits. These operations often require coordination across multiple civil aviation authorities, local handlers, and regional regulations which Falcon manages to keep flights on time and compliant.

“As an operator ourselves, we know how fast things can change in this region, a route that’s open today could be restricted tomorrow,” said Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investment. “That’s the reason why Falcon Flight Support was built, to act fast and keep flights moving. We don’t wait for problems to happen. We stay ahead of them.”

Fuel costs are another key concern, especially at remote or smaller airports. Falcon Flight Support helps airlines get better fuel prices by using its strong relationships with trusted suppliers in busy and hard–to–reach locations.

Le millésime 2025 du Guide Michelin met la Slovénie à l’honneur en décernant 9 étoiles à ses établissements et inaugure trois nouvelles récompenses. Hiša Franko conserve ses trois étoiles, Milka en obtient deux et l’hôtel Plesnik décroche une nouvelle étoile verte

LJUBLJANA, Slovénie, 17 juin 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — La gastronomie slovène connaît une nouvelle fois un succès exceptionnel, reflet des efforts constants de l’Office du tourisme slovène envers la promotion du pays au titre d’une destination gastronomique phare. Référence mondiale de l’excellence culinaire, le prestigieux Guide MICHELIN récompense pour la sixième année consécutive les meilleurs restaurants slovènes. Son édition 2025 recense 72 restaurants, soit neuf de plus qu’en 2024. Cette année, douze étoiles Michelin illuminent la carte touristique de la Slovénie. Hiša Franko maintient ses trois étoiles Michelin, à savoir la plus haute distinction possible. De son côté, le restaurant Milka conserve sa double étoile et sept autres restaurants rejoignent le palmarès avec chacun une étoile. Le Guide Michelin a également innové en décernant trois distinctions spéciales en Slovénie pour la toute première fois, à savoir le Prix du Jeune Chef, le Prix du Service et le Prix de la Sommellerie. Douze restaurants ont obtenu l’appellation Bib Gourmand et neuf autres restaurants ont décroché une étoile verte pour récompenser leur engagement en matière de durabilité.

Le Guide MICHELIN consacré à la Slovénie a une nouvelle fois récompensé l’établissement Hiša Franko dirigé par Ana Roš en lui accordant trois étoiles classiques et une étoile verte, relative à la durabilité. Huitième chef de sexe féminin du monde à obtenir trois étoiles, Ana Roš se distingue parmi les deux seules femmes au monde à remporter cette double distinction.
