Ameerh Naran is an ambitious entrepreneur and car fanatic, currently serving as CEO of Vimana Private Jets and Naran Automotive.Zimbabwe-born Ameerh Naran (38)  to an Indian  family of shoemakers, was Harare’s first importer of sex toys. He then was going to make millions in private aviation, his planes used by celebrities, politicians and on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”. He now spends most of his time in Dubai and London.“I’ve a rare Porsche Carrera Gt that cost me £1.5m ($1.9m)  and I keep it at the airport in Dubai” Naran said. His company  Vimana Private Jets also has offices in Los Angeles and New York. “ If I fly anywhere, Emirates will put it on the earliest flight to wherever I’m going so my car meet me there”. Naran is one of the few thousands of wealthy car owners who think little of buying plane tickets for their automobiles, taking advantage of specialist freight services for cars that many of the major airlines offer, including those based in Middle East, making an eco system of car transport speiclaist evolved to work with the airlines and the family offices of the ultra-rich so that favoured vehicles magically follow them around the world.Richest residents of the Gulf states prepare to jet off to cooler climes for the summer after Ramadan. The last time Naran flew his Porsche from Dubai to London on Emirates cost him £28, 000.“I also have jet clients who are very wealthy and less price sensitive than me and don’t want to put their cars on commercial airlines, in which case they’ll charter a cargo plane from us, which costs in millions”.The ultra-wealthy often  take whole fleets of cars with them when they travel, loading vehicles, along with motorbikes and other toys, onto chartered cargo aircraft that follow their private jets.“I have one client who transports a Nissan Patrol 4×4,  I can’t imagine that it’s worth anything, but he likes it and it’s costing him millions to fly it around with his Bugati” Naran says.According to Etihad Cargo  FlightValet Car shipping sercvicwe is now in the Uk, more than 139 shipments of 151 cars it flew in 2023 originated from Heathrow, mostly bound for Abu Dhabi and Dubai. December was the busiest month, and the biggest destinations for cars leaving the UAE were Frankfurt, Zurich, and Chicago.Sometime Naran get requests like he said “ I’ve been asked to transport horses and camels. It’s not really my bag, and I would never say yes to a job if I’m not 100 per cent sure the cargo is going to be alive when it arrives.”
