The Transatlantic Express fixed-price charter service Bombardier introduced this summer has taken off, with round-trip flights booked between Europe and the U.S. at least once a week. In fact, the manufacturer is so encouraged by demand for the service that it is considering plans to expand it beyond the East Coast of the U.S. The service currently provides access to some 700 airports in Europe and the Eastern U.S. According to Judith Moreton, managing director of Bombardier Flexjet Europe, the company expects to announce the new services next year.
Under the Transatlantic Express program, customers pay a flat fee of €150,000 ($190,000) to fly as many as 10 passengers round-trip across the Atlantic in either a Bombardier Global Express or a Challenger 604. This rate covers nine hours’ flying time (in each direction), allowing flights to and from almost anywhere in Western Europe to cities along the U.S. eastern seaboard (and even some distance inland).
