Resorts World Las Vegas buys private jet from Genting Hong Kong

Resorts World Las Vegas buys private jet from Genting Hong Kong

Troubled cruise ship operator Genting Hong Kong has reached an agreement to sell a private jet used for luxury charters to Genting Berhad for use at Resorts World Las Vegas.

The jet, a Global Express XRS aircraft manufactured by Bombardier in 2007, is currently held by Genting Hong Kong’s wholly-owned subsidiary Crystal Luxury Aircraft Holdings Limited but is being offloaded as part of the company’s strategy to dispose of non-core assets.

The US$4 million sale enables the group to “enhance its liquidity position in light of the uncertainties resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic,” it said.

In a Tuesday filing, Genting Hong Kong said it expects to record a loss of almost US$6.5 million on the sale given the aircraft’s carrying value of almost US$10.5 million but that it will result in annual savings of US$3 million for the repairing of the engines and another US$3 million on operating costs.

According to Genting Hong Kong’s announcement, the purchaser is Resorts World Las Vegas LLC, which opened its US$4.3 billion Las Vegas Strip resort last Thursday.

Lim Kok Thay acts as Chairman, CEO and Executive Director of both Genting Berhad and Genting Hong Kong and is a major shareholder in both companies, including a direct and indirect 70.915% in Genting Hong Kong via family trust Golden Hope Limited.

Genting Hong Kong, which has also sold its stake in a luxury yacht company to Lim and the Zouk nightclub brand to Lim’s son, Lim Keong Hui, announced earlier this week that it has consummated various agreements with lenders around a US$2.6 billion bailout package.
