Jet Access’ Post

🛩📊 Jet Market Monday – Bombardier Challenger 650 Or should I say LearStar 650? The Challenger 650 is the latest iteration of the wide-cabin jet concept developed by the legendary Bill Lear in 1974. 1975 – Canadair begins funding the project. 1976 – Canadair buy Lear’s concept. 1977 – Renamed to the Challenger 600. 1978 – Prototype jet maiden flight. 1980 – CL-600 type certification approval by Transport Canada and the FAA. Six years from concept to approval. Impressive! 👏 Since then we’ve seen the 601, 604, 605 and the 650, introduced in 2015. And all the stretched out variants - The CRJ regional airliner (which you have probably flown on) and the Global Express - yep, same fuselage cross section. What will the next iteration of the 650 be named? ‘The Challenger 6500’? 🤔 - Can anyone do better? I feel we’re due an announcement from Bombardier on this. Maybe at EBACE or NBAA-BACE? Roll on Feb 2024 and there are six CL650s for sale. I remember a time in March 2023 when there was only one! Six represents 7% of the 143 in service. Five have sold in the last six months. We have one for sale, serial number 6134. I'll post the spec tomorrow. Or get in touch if you want me to send it to you. #Aviation #BusinessAviation #Markets #JetMarketMonday #Bombardier   ___   I'm Colin, I buy and sell jets with Jetcraft.   Follow me for: 🛩 Jet Market Info 📈 🛩 Jet Trading Insights 💡 🛩 Snippets of My Journey 📽   ___

Four Reasons Owner/Operators May Want to Upgrade their Lear 45 XR The Lear 45 XR is a great aircraft and is perfect for many owners and operators, but your family or business may have outgrown it. 1. Upgrading to Larger Cabin: Owners seeking a more spacious cabin often sell their Lear 45 XR to upgrade to larger aircraft like the Bombardier Challenger 350 or the Gulfstream G150 for enhanced passenger comfort and amenities. 2. Extended Range Requirements: If longer-range capabilities are needed, selling the Lear 45 XR to transition to an aircraft like the Bombardier Learjet 60XR or the Cessna Citation XLS+ may be considered for extended travel options. 3. Enhanced Performance: Owners desiring improved performance may sell the Lear 45 XR to upgrade to the Cessna Citation Sovereign+ or the Bombardier Learjet 75 Liberty, which offer superior speed, climb rates, and operating efficiencies. 4. Advanced Avionics and Cockpit: Transitioning to an aircraft with more advanced avionics systems, such as the Garmin G5000-equipped Cessna Citation CJ4 or the Honeywell Primus 1000-based Pilatus PC-24, can provide pilots with state-of-the-art technology and improved situational awareness. IntelliJet has qualified buyers looking for a Lear 45 XR - so now might be a great time to upgrade! #Lear45 #AircraftUpgrade #BusinessAviation #AviationIndustry

#flyExclusive is adding the #Bombardier #Challenger350 to our fractional offerings. In recent times, the pre-owned #privatejet market has been soaring, attracting savvy fliers who seek value and practicality. Here’s why: Pandemic-Driven Trends: During the pandemic, #privateaviation experienced a surge in popularity. Private flights were perceived as safer and more reliable than commercial options. This upward trend continued into 2022 and beyond to today, despite inflation and higher fuel prices. Supply Constraints: Production slowdowns among #jetmanufacturers led to limited quantities of newer models. As a result, clients faced long waitlists for brand-new jets. Buyers turned to the #preownedjet market as a viable alternative. Rising Interest Rates: With interest rates on the rise, buyers became more conservative in their spending. The prospect of higher borrowing costs during an economic downturn prompted many to explore pre-owned options. Savvy buyers are now recognizing that the pre-owned market offers better value and easier access. Adding the option to our #fractional inventory gives even more consumers the option to own.

Inside the Boeing 777X cockpit ✈️ Different mindset, when you go from pre tripping trucks to pre tripping aircraft’s. Think BIG and think BiGGER in everything you do… BlackROI = GROWTH #successmindset

An epic throwback video of my experience standing in the cockpit during the landing of the Junkers Ju 52, Tante Ju, in Dübendorf, Switzerland back in June 2014. It's amazing to think that the first flight of the Ju 52 was back in 1930! With all the recent news about the Boeing 737MAX, it's important to remember how far the aviation industry has come in terms of safety and standards. Of course, there is always room for improvement, but I'm personally excited to see what the next decade will bring in terms of innovation. Let's continue to strive for progress and excellence in aviation. #aviation #safety #innovation #throwback

A January 1999 article by Fred George in Aviation Week Network’s BCA told us, “The venerable Hawker 800XP isn’t the fastest or the highest flying midsize business aircraft. It doesn’t have the most range or the best fuel economy. It can’t boast the shortest takeoff distances or the most sporting climb performance. Why, then, does it continue to be the best-selling midsize business aircraft? Simple. It just does a blend of everything better than anything else in its class, according to operators.” One can only assume those words remain largely true today. Many years after the last Hawker 800XP rolled off the production line it is still hugely popular with private, corporate, charter, air ambulance and government operators. For anyone who wants that great “blend of everything”, but is desirous of improving many of the areas where Fred noted it wasn’t best in class, buy the Hawker 800 or 800XP. Then contact Aviation Partners for a pair of Blended Winglets. You’ll fly farther, climb faster, reduce fuel burn, lower emissions, and look cooler. All at a fraction of the price of a new airplane with comparable cabin space and range. #wingletwednesday #thinkwinglets #sustainableaviation #climbingfast #bizav #buythejet #hawker800 #hawker800xp
