Bahrain Executive Air Services (Bexair), a charter operator in the Gulf region, recently took delivery of the first Challenger 604 to be based in Bahrain. Based at Bexair’s executive aviation terminal at Bahrain International Airport, the Challenger is being used for intercontinental missions, mostly flying regionally and into Europe.

“After a thorough evaluation of several excellent aircraft, we selected the Bombardier Challenger 604,” stated Mansour Al-Tassan, Bexair chairman and ceo, at the inauguration of the company’s new aviation terminal and operations centre which was officiated by His Highness Ali Bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, the Bahraini minister of transportation.
