London-based aircraft management and charter company Oryx Jet is adding to its managed fleet of executive jets bringing more choice to its private business and leisure charter services both locally and internationally.
A pristine Bombardier Challenger 604, one of the world's best-selling large corporate jets, begins operation from September 2012 and is managed from Oryx Jet's HQ within affiliated partner Rizon Jet's state-of-the-art FBO/MRO facility at Biggin Hill Airport. This latest addition to Oryx Jet's growing fleet boasts one of the widest and quietest cabins in its class and provides an ideal environment for in-flight business meetings or relaxation.
Oryx Jet ceo Mike Russell said: "We are excited to welcome the Challenger to our growing fleet, as it further expands our long-range capabilities and allows us to continue to offer our clients unparalleled VIP service."
The Challenger 604 is renowned for its comfortable wide bodied cabin, providing stand up room of over six feet that allows superior cabin comfort for all its passengers. The aircraft can accommodate up to 10 people and is equipped with on-board entertainment and a satellite phone. It has transcontinental range and is capable of jetting non-stop from London to New York.
Oryx Jet's existing Hawker and Falcon 50 fleet is also complemented by single and twin turbine engine helicopters. It is one of an elite group of UK aircraft operators that can fly with a paperless cockpit, and its charter aviation service was this year recognised as Best Charter in Europe in The Business Destinations 2012 awards.
Mike Russell said: "Our business is gaining a reputation for excellence and we are constantly striving to improve our service levels and our customer experience. The aircraft management arm of our business is going from strength to strength, and we are confident this latest addition to our fleet will prove a popular choice for both business and leisure travellers."
