Air Corporate (CPV, Verona) has resumed Challenger 3500 operations following a two-month hiatus with the addition of a brand-new unit of the type, the company announced on social media.
The factory-new jet, 9H-LRST (msn 21106), departed Bombardier Business Aircraft's production facilities at Montréal Trudeau for Brescia on February 15, with a stop at Reykjavik Keflavik.
The Challenger 3500 replaces another unit of the type, 9H-LRSR (msn 21071), which joined the fleet of Elite Jet (Slovakia). This 2025-built aircraft was Air Corporate's first in-house Challenger 3500 and was inducted in July.
Previously, Air Corporate's first Challenger 3500, a 2024-built aircraft currently registered in the United States as N764WS (msn 21004), was registered in Austria as OE-HLR and placed on the air operator's certificate (AOC) of SPARFELL Luftfahrt (LDX, Vienna). Delivered in June 2024, the jet remained active until December of that year, when it was reregistered in the United States as N350US.
The newly inducted Challenger 3500 joins two Pilatus PC-24s in Air Corporate's executive jet fleet, one registered in Malta and the other in Italy. The company further operates a rotary-wing fleet comprising Airbus Helicopters models, including the Eurocopter AS350, H130, H145, and H160, alongside Leonardo Helicopters types such as the AW109, AW139, AW169.
