Bonair (Türkiye) (Istanbul Sabiha Gökcen) has phased out the sole Challenger 850 it operated since 2017, ch-aviation research reveals.

The 17.5-year-old Bombardier Business Aircraft, TC-GHP (msn 8052), configured for up to 16 passengers, has been parked at Istanbul Atatürk since September 1, 2024, following a flight from Nice.

Bonair's fleet now comprises a Challenger 605, which was recently added, a Global Express XRS, a Global 5000 also recently inducted, a Cessna Caravan 208B, a Citation Bravo, a Citation V, two GIV-SPs (one added in March), a Hawker 750, a Hawker 800XPi (added in February), and two Hawker 850XPs.

The retired Challenger 850 has since joined the fleet of fellow operator Turkish Güven Air, joining another unit of the type. Güven Air's general manager, Yaşar Kepti, confirmed to ch-aviation that the aircraft will be based at Istanbul Atatürk.
