Bombardier announced its first delivery of a Challenger 3500 in Turkey. Long-time customer Arkasair said the super-midsize jet will replace a Challenger 300 in its air taxi and charter fleet. Arkasair has also operated a Learjet 60 and Challenger 604 since it was founded in 1998.

Martine De Andria, the Izmir-based company’s deputy general manager, noted that the 3500 “perfectly complements the impeccable standards that our VIP air taxi clients have come to demand and expect,” adding that it is “truly an impressive aircraft with its luxurious, comfortable cabin and outstanding performance attributes.”
