GE Trims Flight Department in Favor of Charter
General Electric has shuttered its Bombardier Challenger 605 operations in favor of flying charter.

After operating its own aircraft for nearly 75 years, General Electric has shuttered operations of its three Bombardier Challenger 605s in favor of flying charter. A company-owned HondaJet in Europe and two Leonardo AW139s reportedly remain, but with a much-reduced aviation staff. GE took delivery of the HondaJet in March, and a second was scheduled to be delivered this year. The fate of other aircraft reportedly in its fleet—a BBJ and two Bombardier Global XRSs—is unknown.
