Arkasair has added a Bombardier Challenger 3500 to its VIP air taxi and charter fleet, becoming the first customer for the aircraft type in Turkey. The company is a long-time client of Bombardier, having operated a Learjet 60, Challenger 300 and Challenger 604. The new Challenger 3500 will replace Arkasair’s Challenger 300.
“Bombardier is proud that our long-time customer Arkasair has added a Challenger 3500 business jet to its fleet, marking the first delivery of a Challenger 3500 jet in Turkey,” said Emmanuel Bornand, VP, sales, Europe, Russia, CIS, Middle East and Africa, Bombardier. “Arkasair and Bombardier share a like-minded vision: we strive for excellence and work tirelessly to offer an exceptional experience to our clients. We also continue to look for new opportunities in this important country, offering the very best business aircraft in the skies today.”
“At Arkasair, we are delighted to be adding a new Challenger 3500 aircraft to our fleet, as it perfectly complements the impeccable standards that our VIP air taxi clients have come to demand and expect,” said Martine De Andria, deputy general manager, Arkasair. “The Challenger 3500 is truly an impressive aircraft with its luxurious, comfortable cabin and outstanding performance attributes. We are thrilled to be taking delivery of the first one in Turkey.”
Built on the Challenger super-midsize platform, the Challenger 3500 integrates many of the features from Bombardier’s Global family of aircraft, including Bombardier’s exclusive Nuage seat. The Challenger 3500 aircraft type has an Environmental Product Declaration, which documents its environmental footprint over its lifecycle.
