Based in Vienna, Austria. From its home base it typically flies legs such as Vienna–Munich · Vienna–Olbia. Positioning from the home region is faster and cheaper; departures from another city add a ferry leg.

Canada's Bombardier is one of the 'big three' business-jet makers. Two current families: Challenger (the 3500 in super-midsize, the 650 in large) and the flagship Global 5500/6500/7500/8000 line with up to 14,800 km of range. Signature traits are wide cabins (the Challenger 3500 has the widest in class, 2.19 m) and the Smooth Flĕx wing on the Global 7500.

The Challenger 604/605/650 is one of the most numerous large jets: over 1,100 built, with fleet dispatch reliability above 99.7%. Bombardier is actively expanding its own service network — major centres in London, Paris, Singapore and Dubai cover the CIS and Central Asia. The GE CF34 engines on the Challenger are serviced under the fixed-rate OnPoint programme. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

The Challenger 650 is the liquidity champion in the large class: five-year-old aircraft sell for $22–26M against a $33M list, with exposure rarely over 90 days. The Global 7500, with a waiting list for new jets, sells pre-owned at almost no discount — $60–70M. Early Global Express XRS hold value less well ($10–15M), where costly maintenance checks await the buyer.

For 3–5-hour routes (Geneva–Istanbul, London–Dubai) the Challenger 3500 is optimal — 10 seats and 6,300 km. The Challenger 650 adds space and takes 12 passengers over 7,400 km. Intercontinental tasks are Global territory: the 6500 covers 12,200 km, and the 7500 links Europe with North America nonstop — 14,260 km with a four-zone cabin.

A class for long 6–8-hour business flights: London–Dubai, Geneva–New York with one stop, transatlantic Lisbon–New York. A range of 6,300–7,400 km, a flat-floor cabin up to 1.83 m high, a full galley and sleeping layouts — a 'flying office' format without stepping up to large-jet prices. Optimal for groups of 6–10.

Layouts are 8–10 seats (Challenger 3500 up to 10, Praetor 600 9–12 in a dense layout). Range: Citation Longitude 6,480 km, Challenger 3500 6,300 km, Gulfstream G280 6,670 km, Praetor 600 7,440 km. The Citation X+ stands apart — the fastest civil aircraft (M0.935), trading range for speed. Holds are 2.8–4.3 m³.

From the midsize it is set apart by an extra 1,000–2,000 km, a wide flat-floor cabin and sleeping berths — transcontinental flights stop being an ordeal. The large class (Challenger 650, Falcon 2000LXS) adds a cabin width of 2.4–2.5 m, a separate rest zone and 7,400+ km, but an hour is $1,500–2,500 dearer. The choice threshold is regular flights longer than seven hours. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Rates are $5,500–8,000 per flight hour. Guides: London–Dubai (7 h) $45–60K, Geneva–Dubai $30–40K, a one-day loop London–Geneva–Vienna $35–50K. The spread within the class is clear: an older Hawker 4000 or Citation X costs 25–30% less than new Challenger 3500 and Praetor 600 for comparable flight time.

The standard is 24–48 hours before departure: that is enough to confirm the aircraft, crew and slots. For regular clients we arrange a domestic flight from 4–6 hours. International routes need 48–72 hours: overflight permits for some countries take 3–5 working days. On peak dates — Christmas, summer holidays, major forums — aircraft are booked out 2–3 weeks ahead, so plan early.

An empty leg is the ferry of an empty aircraft to its next job or home to base. Such segments sell at a 30–75% discount to the usual price: a flight that would cost $25K can come to $8–12K. The limits: the date and route are fixed to the aircraft's schedule, and if the main booking is cancelled the flight may shift. We publish current empty legs weekly — watch the listings.
