Kansas City-based Airshare has committed to ordering up to 20 additional Challenger 3500 aircraft from Bombardier, doubling the size of its Challenger fleet. This will support the considerable demand it has experienced since launching the aircraft within its fractional programme.

In May 2021, Airshare entered the super-midsize segment with an order for up to 20 Challengers. As the company moves to exercise all options as part of that original order, this new incremental commitment to Challenger 3500 jets underscores that private aviation continues to garner significant market interest among the travelling public.

“The response we have received to the Challenger entering our fractional programme has been tremendous, from both new and existing customers,” says president and CEO John Owen. “We are thrilled to extend our commitment with Bombardier and look forward to adding several more Challenger 3500s to our fleet. The strength of our partnership made it easy for us to accelerate our plans to order more of these aircraft to meet customer demand.”

“The entire team is immensely proud that Airshare continues to trust Bombardier to grow its fleet,” adds Bombardier president and CEO Eric Martel. “Airshare and Bombardier share several values in common: we strive for excellence and work tirelessly to offer an exceptional experience to our clients. With this new order, our valued relationship continues to grow stronger, as the award-winning Challenger 3500 aircraft keeps elevating Airshare's flight experience with its ultimate combination of performance and comfort.”
