New Aircraft On Static Display At NBAA 2008
Bombardier Aerospace recently announced XOJET’s first
Challenger 300 aircraft has entered service. Bombardier and XOJET
executives were on hand to mark the delivery and the
aircraft’s debut at NBAA 2008 in Orlando, FL.
"We announced XOJET’s record order for up to 80 Challenger
300 jets at NBAA 2007 and today, just one year later, we are
highlighting the first Challenger 300 jet to join the XOJET fleet,"
said Bob Horner, senior vice-president, sales Bombardier Business
Aircraft. "This business jet is the benchmark for performance,
reliability and cabin comfort in the super midsize category. It is
a true mark of confidence that XOJET has selected to invest in this
amazing aircraft and today we share their excitement in welcoming
their first Challenger 300 jet into service."
As ANN reported, XOJET placed firm orders for
20 Challenger 300 jets and options for an additional 60 at NBAA
2007, marking the largest single Challenger 300 jet order in
Bombardier Business Aircraft history. To date, XOJET has converted
four of these additional Challenger 300 aircraft options to firm
orders, two in Bombardier’s second quarter and two in the
current third quarter of this fiscal year.
"Our Challenger 300 aircraft
interiors feature leading edge technology and sophisticated designs
that highlight convenience and in-flight productivity," said David
Miller, executive vice-president and chief operating officer,
XOJET, Inc. "The Challenger 300 jet truly redefines luxury for the
super midsize segment and now XOJET customers can experience the
outstanding performance and comfort of this incredible aircraft
firsthand."
Founded in 2006, XOJET is already one of the world’s
fastest growing private aviation companies, built on a unique
business model that combines private jet ownership, leasing and
on-demand travel and a single focus on providing the highest level
of customer service at every point of the client’s
experience. The company recently secured $2.46 billion for fleet
expansion.
XOJET’s Challenger 300 jet will be open for viewing at the
NBAA 2008 static display at Orlando Executive Airport throughout
the show.
