Bombardier Aerospace today announced that it received firm orders for five
midsize Learjet 85 and two large cabin Challenger 605 jets, from multiple
companies of the same group, for principal operation in Germany by Munich-based
Jet Air Flug. The total value of the order is approximately $155 million US,
based on the 2010 list price for typically equipped aircraft.
"Our strategy is clear: we want to combine the world's most advanced aircraft
with the highest safety standards along with the world's best service. The
Learjet 85 and Challenger 605 jets complement each other very well, offering the
perfect range and cabin versatility. Adding these new jets to our fleet will
ensure we meet the needs of our very strong existing customer base in Western
Europe and Russia as well as supporting our ambitious plans into Africa," said
Patrick Raftery, Group CEO, Jet Air.
"This order further emphasizes the strength of our business aircraft product
portfolio, the diversity of which is truly appreciated by our customers, who can
rely on Bombardier as a total business jet and services provider," said Bob
Horner, Senior Vice-President, Sales, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "We are
delighted to further strengthen our longstanding relationship with Jet Air."
Challenger 605 aircraft: In service since January 2007, the Challenger 605 jet
features the widest stand-up cabin of any large category business jet available
today. It is equipped with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite and
an all new cabin electronic system. It can whisk five passengers from Munich-Dar
Es Salaam or Dubai-London non-stop(i), in superior comfort. Optional equipment
on the Challenger 605 jet now includes the Bombardier Enhanced Vision System
(BEVS), providing pilots with significantly improved situational awareness and
the ability to observe runway lights and the runway environment in difficult
operating conditions, such as low visibility and or darkness.
The new Learjet 85 aircraft - redefining the midsize business jet class
Launched on October 30, 2007, the new Learjet 85 aircraft is the first
Bombardier business aircraft built primarily from composite materials and the
first business aircraft in the industry to have both a composite fuselage and
wing. The jet targets a 3,000 nautical mile range (5,556 km)(ii), capable of
linking Munich-Lagos or Dubai-Rome non-stop(i). It will be the largest, fastest,
longest range Learjet aircraft ever. Construction of Bombardier's Learjet 85
aircraft manufacturing facility in Queretaro, Mexico is complete, expansion at
the Wichita manufacturing site is underway and parts production for the new
aircraft has begun.
