Montreal, February 03, 2010 – Bombardier Aerospace today announced the entry into service
of the 100th manufactured Challenger 605 jet. With over 800 aircraft manufactured, the popular
Challenger 600 series has accumulated over 4,000,000 flight hours with a dispatch reliability of
over 99.8 per cent as at September 2009.
“We are delighted to announce this milestone delivery,” said Michel Ouellette, vice-president
and general manager, Challenger programs, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “This is a testament
to the popularity and reliability of this robust platform – a jet that continues to prove itself as a
valuable business tool for corporate leaders worldwide.”
In service since January 2007, the Challenger 605 jet builds on the legacy of quality and
reliability of its predecessor, the acclaimed Challenger 604 jet, leading its market share segment
throughout the world. The Challenger 605 jet can whisk five passengers from Montreal to any
European destination non-stop*, including London City Airport, in superior comfort. It features
the widest stand-up cabin of any large category business jet available today and is equipped
with the Pro Line 21 avionics suite and an all-new cabin electronic system. The Bombardier
Enhanced Vision System (BEVS) is offered as optional equipment on the Challenger 605 jet.
