Sunwest Aviation, a Canadian business aircraft operator based in Calgary, is pleased to announce the addition of the award-winning Bombardier Challenger 3500 business jet to the fleet. The Challenger 3500 aircraft is the newest model in the Challenger lineup. The 3500 continues Challenger’s legacy of efficiency and performance while adding many features of Bombardier’s luxury Global aircraft, including the exclusive Nuage seats.

Ian Darnley, Sunwest’s director of business development, comments, “We’re very excited about the Challenger 3500. It’s the perfect addition to our fleet, which already includes the Challenger 300, 350 and 604 aircraft. The 3500 brings latest technology, lowest in-class operating costs and industry leading reliability to our customers. This new Challenger will complement our Calgary based charter fleet.”

The 3500 comfortably seats eight passengers in a spacious Wi-Fi equipped cabin that provides passengers with smart phone control over the cabin’s lighting, environmental and entertainment systems. Sunwest intends to make the Challenger 3500 available to its aircraft management clients, charter card members, and to on-demand charter customers.
