Latest Challenger 605 heads for Kazakhstan

Comlux is bringing another Challenger 605 into operation taking the number of Bombardier aircraft in its fleet to 11. "Comlux successfully began six years ago with the Challenger 604," says Stephen Laven, ceo Fly Comlux.

He adds: "The addition of a new Challenger 605 to our fleet supports our main objective of always operating brand new aircraft, offering the best value for money to our VIP clients.

"The aircraft will be operated from our facility in Kazakhstan. From Central Asia, it will be ideally placed to serve European destinations and the growing charter market in Asia."

Fly Comlux's fleet includes three Challenger 605s, two Challenger 850s, two Global 5000s, two Global Express and two Global Express XRS jets.

Comlux, which is expanding in Malta and has offices in Zurich, Moscow and Almaty, specialises in widebody, long-range aircraft operations and its services include aircraft management, sales and acquisitions, cabin design, completion and maintenance services.

Laven says the Challenger 605 features a particularly wide stand-up cabin and is equipped with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite and an all new cabin electronic system.
