Bombardier has announced that AB Jets has received its first Challenger 3500 aircraft, marking an important step for the long-time charter operator. The new jet joins AB Jets’ existing fleet of nine Learjet 60 aircraft and introduces a new level of comfort and technology. This is the first of three Challenger 3500 jets that the company plans to add, expanding its super mid-size offering.
“This delivery is more than an aircraft handover; it represents the future of AB Jets,” said Andrew Bettis, President of AB Jets. “The Challenger 3500 is our flagship, a jet that elevates our ability to serve clients with more comfort and extended range. The same uncompromising focus on safety and reliability that defines our culture. We’re proud to bring this aircraft home and begin the next chapter of our story.”
The Challenger 3500 draws on key design elements from Bombardier’s Global family. Its cabin includes the patented Nuage seat, designed for exceptional comfort, as well as a quiet interior and modern styling. The aircraft also introduces several industry-first technologies such as voice-controlled cabin management, 4K entertainment, wireless charging, and full compatibility with passengers’ own devices.
Based in Memphis, Tennessee, AB Jets provides charter and supplemental lift services to brokers, flight departments, and operators across the United States.
