MHS adds long range jets to growing fleet
With an anthracite exterior and a modern interior finish, the fourth Challenger in MHS Aviation’s fleet is said to combine luxury travel and 21st century flair, while a Gulfstream G550 delivers a non-stop range of 6,750 nm.
The CL604 has been given a modern anthracite finish.

A refurbished Bombardier Challenger 604 has joined the fleet of Munich-based operator MHS Aviation, bringing its total roster to 19 fixed wing aircraft and one AW109.

With an anthracite exterior and a modern interior finish, the fourth Challenger in MHS Aviation’s fleet is said to combine luxury travel and 21st century flair. With a cabin width of 2.49m, it provides plenty of space and comfort for long sector travel, offering comfortable seating for up to 12 guests.

“We are extremely proud to have this gorgeous aircraft join our growing fleet,” enthuses CEO Steffen Fries. “With our tailored offerings and boutique service we have been selected as the ideal operator by the owner.” As an aircraft management provider, MHS Aviation gives advice on purchasing and selling aircrafts and assumes responsibility for flight operations and marketing. The Bombardier Challenger 604 is the second major fleet addition of 2020.

This aircraft supplements the existing heavy jet fleet of Dassault Falcon 2000LX and Bombardier Challenger 604s and can perform a wide range of missions for customers. Earlier this year a Gulfstream G550 was added, reflecting the goal of MHS Aviation to strengthen its current positioning as a premium operator. The G550 delivers a non-stop range of 6,750 nm and offers ultra-long range flights connecting city pairs as Shanghai to Los Angeles, New York to Dubai, and London to Tokyo. The jet has four distinct living areas and seating for up to 18 passengers.
