Bombardier and AB Jets have announced that AB Jets is acquiring three Bombardier Challenger 3500 aircraft with the contractual option to order a fourth by the end of 2023. This significant fleet expansion represents a transformational chapter for AB Jets, a private charter company with an Argus Platinum rating. AB Jets is a full-service private charter company with a floating fleet of aircraft operating across the United States. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, AB Jets has been dedicated to providing exceptional service for over twenty years.
Andrew Bettis, Founder and Co-owner, AB Jets said, “This fleet expansion represents a milestone in AB Jets’ history. We’re pleased to meet our clients’ demands with a new category of aircraft in the Challenger 3500. These super mid-size jets will bring an extended range and comfort to our fleet, increasing our ability to service our clientele,” he further added.
The Challenger 3500 is known for its unparalleled cabin experience, making it a preferred choice for discerning business jet users. With a dispatch reliability of over 99.8% and the lowest direct operating costs in its class, it’s highly regarded by fleet operators. The aircraft features Bombardier’s innovative Nuage seats, voice-controlled management of lighting, temperature, and entertainment systems, and boasts the only 24-inch 4K display in its class. Its low cabin altitude, smooth ride, advanced connectivity features, and exceptional cabin design contribute to its popularity as a super-midsize business jet.
Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales & Defense, Bombardier said, “AB Jets were looking to upgrade their offering with the ultimate jet experience, and we are thrilled that they recognized the Challenger 3500 as the aircraft that can provide just that. With our uncompromising commitment to superior performance, an elevated cabin experience, the smoothest ride and consistent reliability, our jets are the aircraft of choice for operators who want to offer a best-in-class business jet experience to their customers. We are looking forward to being AB Jets’ partner of choice in the exciting new chapter for the company.”
AB Jets, based in Memphis, Tennessee, offers supplemental lift services to brokers, flight departments, and operators in addition to its primary operations. They have established a strong reputation in the aviation industry due to their reliable services during peak demand periods and as a trusted contingency plan.
David Turner, Co-owner and Director of Operations, AB Jets, said, “With a fleet of nine Learjet 60 aircraft, we’ve been an operator and advocate of Bombardier aircraft for more than twenty years. Our experience has given us confidence in the quality and performance of the product and the team who delivers it. This step is the natural evolution of our enduring relationship.”
