Next-Generation Bombardier Challenger 605 jets to join Flexjet fleet

Bombardier Flexjet, the fractional business jet ownership program of Bombardier Aerospace, has announced the induction of Bombardier’s new Challenger 605 jets into the Flexjet fractional fleet. The Challenger 605 jets are among 24 new aircraft scheduled to enter service with Flexjet in 2008. The additional new arrivals will include the best-selling, super-midsize Challenger 300 and the high-performance Learjet 60 XR. They will replace some of the aircraft currently in service. By replacing a large portion of its aircraft each year, Flexjet is able to maintain one of the youngest fleets of any fractional jet ownership company. Aircraft in the Flexjet fleet average 3.4 years in age.
