Bombardier Defense is expanding its footprint in Germany through an order from the automobile association, Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (ADAC), for an air ambulance-configured Challenger 650. ADAC subsidiary Aero-Dienst will operate the large-cabin twinjet for medical transportation of its customers around the world. The Challenger 650 is slated for delivery in 2026.

“The ambulance service of ADAC Versicherung, in cooperation with Aero-Dienst in Nuremberg, has been setting global standards in the field of patient repatriation for more than 50 years,” said Sascha Petzold of ADAC Versicherung’s board. “By investing in a new aircraft, we are reaffirming our commitment to providing our ADAC members and policyholders with first-class services. Thanks to the Challenger 650’s long range, we are able to serve our members worldwide with our own ADAC fleet.”
