Jet Methods (San Diego McClellan Palomar) has launched Part 135 Bombardier Business Aircraft operations with a Challenger 605, while resuming Citation Jet-series charter services with a Citation Jet 3.

The 17.9-year-old Challenger 605, N987GG (msn 5737), is configured for up to nine passengers and joined Jet Method's charter fleet in September. “The Challenger 605 significantly expands our charter capabilities into the large cabin market,” said company president Grayson Grove. Previously operated privately in the United States, the aircraft is based at San Diego McClellan Palomar.

The 18.9-year-old Citation Jet 3, N532LW (msn 525B-0118), seats up to seven passengers and is also stationed at San Diego McClellan Palomar. The company's Part 135 fleet had formerly included a Citation Jet 3 between 2018 and late 2021.

This aircraft was previously operated under the Part 135 certificate of Latitude 33 Aviation (San Diego McClellan Palomar), which as of July included six additional Citation Jet 3s, alongside a Citation Jet 2, a Citation Jet 2+, a Citation XLS+, three Challenger 350s, a Citation Sovereign+, three Phenom 300s, and a PC-12.
