About this vehicle

The Shamal is a Buckingham twin-engine monoplane that combines the form of a business jet with the role of a regional commuter aircraft. In Grand Theft Auto V, it carries a single occupant and has a fully modelled cabin finished in brown and tan leather. It appears only in Ice White, wearing the markings of MyFly, Air Emu, Air Herler or FlyUS. Its airliner stripes extend across the fuselage, winglets, engines and tail.

It can be bought from Elitás Travel for $1,150,000. Shamals are parked around Los Santos International Airport, including beside a Luxor in the southeast area and north of the runways near Devin Weston's hangar. AI-operated examples land on the northern runway and may park near the Jets or outside Michael's hangar. A rare aircraft can also be seen above Palomino Highlands or Lake Vinewood, though it cannot be taken over.

The twin engines make the Shamal generally faster than propeller-driven planes, while its responsive, balanced controls make it easy to land on runways. It can turn sharply and roll quickly, allowing a capable pilot to use it in races and aerial stunts. In Caida Libre, a damaged Air Emu Shamal pursued during the mission crashes near the Senora Freeway. Its detached access door, damaged right wing and exposed left engine remain on the wreck.

Trivia

  • ◆In Arabic, Shamal means "North".
  • ◆Shamal itself is a sandy, dusty wind which blows through Middle East, specifically Iraq.
  • ◆Pictures of the Shamal, amongst other planes, can be seen in the multiplayer map Tiete River Docks.
  • ◆The Shamal and the Luxor cannot be bought as Trevor, because Trevor's hangar is unable to fit these jets.
  • ◆Despite the plane being able to sit 10 people including the pilot in Online mode, it cannot sit more than 2 people in singleplayer. If one reunites all three protagonists and enters a Shamal, one of the two will sit next to the player and the third will stand out of the plane.
  • ◆The Shamal's real life counterpart is revealed in the files for the audio of Caida Libre, where it is named "lear_jet".
  • ◆In the enhanced version of the game, the Shamal was changed after the After Hours update. For reasons unknown, every livery for the Shamal with the exception of MyFly were removed, resulting in a contradiction in Caida Libre where an Air Emu livery Shamal is meant to appear instead. These liveries were restored with the following update, Arena War, claiming they were accidentally removed.
