Memphis, Tennessee-based air charter firm AB Jets took delivery of the first of three Bombardier Challenger 3500s that will become a core part of its operations. The super-midsize twinjet joins nine Learjet 60s in the Argus Platinum-rated carrier’s fleet.

“This delivery is more than an aircraft handover; it represents the future of AB Jets,” said company president Andrew Bettis. “The Challenger 3500 is our flagship, a jet that elevates our ability to serve clients with more comfort, extended range, and the same uncompromising focus on safety and reliability that defines our culture.”
