Luxaviation presented its new Bombardier Challenger 604 jet at the Air Charter Expo at London Biggin Hill Airport on September 8.

After a comparatively slow start to the year, private flight provider Luxaviation has experienced a busy European summer season and continues to see firm demand across Europe and beyond.
