JetGlobe has added a Challenger 604 to its managed fleet, which will be managed on behalf of a private owner and made available for exclusive charter.

The CL604 is known as a workhorse in business aviation and is respected for its wide cabin and range. It also positions the Turkish charter and aircraft management company’s operations around longer missions.

“The firm that bought the aircraft did so in order to enhance its flight profile further from its previous aircraft,” explains flight ops and training manager Mursel Sendurgut. “Reaching out to us, its request was to have it professionally managed. With its previous bad experience, we listened, took note and outlined how we run the business. In short we presented our philosophy of how we manage an aircraft fully. They were impressed and trusted us with the rest.

“Once we get to know the organisation profile, we set ourselves apart with a tailored approach: we are more like a family-orientated team with a boutique service. The Challenger 604 will complement our fleet and will help us extend our reach by providing us with more aircraft to cater for our charter clients.”

2025 and 2026 have been busy years for JetGlobe. It has introduced several new aircraft into its managed fleet, causing all departments and teams to grow. “We have been investing in our people and have been hiring a young dynamic workforce who have a passion for this line of work,” continues Sendurgut. “The additional aircraft have also pushed us in acquiring more space to extend and grow our hangar facilities at Istanbul Ataturk airport (LTBA) and making ourselves more visible with a big hangar project at Istanbul airport. Apart from our continuing project to attain Part 145, we have also been diversifying ourselves by recently taking over the car parking lot in LTBA; we aim to provide more organised, streamlined space for users.

“We have a few more aircraft on the pipeline to add to our managed fleet as we seem to be proving popular with people who want things done in an organised and proper manner within the regulatory framework. The heart and soul of any organisation is the people within; it is thanks to the team that we keep getting stronger every day.”
