In May 2021, Airshare ventured into the super-midsize segment by placing an order for up to 20 Challenger aircraft.
As the company moves forward to exercise all options from the initial order, its latest commitment to the Challenger 3500 jets further emphasizes the growing interest among the traveling public in the smooth, efficient, and reliable customer experience offered by private aviation.
The considerable market demand for these aircraft highlights the appeal of private aviation as a preferred mode of travel.
John Owen, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Airshare, expressed immense satisfaction with the response received since incorporating the Challenger into their fractional program.
The positive feedback came from both existing and new customers, which has been incredibly encouraging for the company.
In light of the overwhelming demand, Airshare is excited to extend its commitment to Bombardier and has plans to add several more Challenger 3500s to its fleet. This decision was made easier due to the strong partnership and collaboration between Airshare and Bombardier.

This arrangement provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing travelers to visit multiple destinations and adjust their schedules at their convenience.
Airshare also provides various services, including its jet card program called EMBARK, aircraft management, on-demand charter, and maintenance services.
The Challenger 3500 aircraft, built on the renowned Challenger super mid-size platform, offers outstanding comfort and reliability. It delivers top-notch performance and the signature smooth ride characteristic of Bombardier.
