Visitors to EBACE had the chance to step aboard MHS Aviation's Learjet 60, although demand for the company's refurbished Challenger 604 meant that it was too busy on a series of charter flights to attend.

Attendance at EBACE highlighted the company's increased activity in the charter market and it has seen charter flight demand go up by 35 per cent over the last year.

Speaking at the show Steffen Fries, ceo, said: “We see this as an excellent event to showcase our Learjet 60. We are finding that demand for the aircraft is growing and feel that its presence on the static display enables visitors to really see and experience what it is to fly with us.”

The aircraft is equipped with a brand new interior and is one of MHS Aviation's most popular. It is crewed for 365 days a year and, as no owner approval is required, it can be available at very short notice.
