Luxaviation UK, the UK’s
largest private jet charter operator, is welcoming a Bombardier
Challenger 604 to its fleet, available for charter from April 2017.
The Challenger 604 (G-MOCL)
will be based at Athens International Airport with a full-time crew,
allowing for last-minute charter requests. Purchased by an existing
Luxaviation UK customer for private and charter use, it will be
available for charter without the owner’s release. The aircraft was
fitted with new interiors and exteriors in 2015.
George
Galanopoulos, managing
director, Luxaviation UK, says: “There is high demand for business
aviation in Southeast Europe but an inadequate supply of quality
aircraft. The owner purchased the aircraft to help counter that
shortage. The Greek economy may continue to struggle, but the
business aviation market remains prominent as wealthy individuals
and visitors require transportation during the tourist season; the
same applies to the neighboring Balkan countries. The Athens-based
Challenger 604 is an excellent addition to our fleet, representing a
great opportunity for us to reach out to more clients in the region.
“At Luxaviation UK we
offer a state-of-the-art, luxury experience that our clients expect
from private jet travel and this fleet addition epitomises our key
values of going above and beyond.”
The Challenger 604
can accommodate up to 11 passengers and 3 crew members, with a
maximum flying distance of 4,000 nm (7,410 km). Its track-record for
dependability and reliability makes it the best-selling jet in its
class; with standing space of more than six feet, it provides
superior comfort for passengers and crew.
In addition to the
Challenger 604 and the recently added Challenger 350 and Falcon
2000LXS, the 24-strong Luxaviation UK fleet also includes eight
Embraer Legacy 600/650s, four Cessna Citation Excels, four Citation
Mustangs and more. The Challenger 604 will become part of the
Luxaviation Group’s global fleet of more than 260 aircraft. |
