JetGlobe (Istanbul Atatürk) has resumed Bombardier Business Aircraft operations after an eight-month hiatus with the addition of a Challenger 604, the company announced.
The 2004-built aircraft, with manufacturer serial number 5583, was added to Jet Globe's fleet in May and has yet to enter service. Configured for up to nine passengers, the jet's current Turkish registration remains unknown.
JetGlobe's website states the company previously operated another Challenger 604. That aircraft carried a Turkish registration between mid-2013 and late 2021. In early 2025, the company retired a Global 5000.
The Challenger 604 joins a JetGlobe fleet primarily composed of Dassault Aviation aircraft, including a Falcon 900LX, five Falcon 2000s, one registered in San Marino and stored at Dubai World Central since December 2024 and another parked at Istanbul Atatürk since October 31, a Falcon 2000S inducted in late 2025, and two Falcon 7X jets, one added in late 2024 and registered in San Marino and the other inducted in early 2026.
The company further operates a Legacy 600 and launched Gulfstream Aerospace operations in late 2025 following the addition of a GIV-SP.
JetGlobe's newly inducted Challenger 604 was previously registered in Guernsey as 2-WILD and marketed for sale by Volare Aviation (Guernsey). Added in late 2025, the aircraft completed multiple sectors out of Oxford Kidlington between late January and early March. On March 19, it was ferried to Istanbul Atatürk, with a stop at Guernsey.
Volare Aviation specialises in aircraft acquisition and sales, with several Challenger 600-series currently for sale, alongside a B737-700(BBJ), a Challenger 850, a Global 5000, a Citation Jet 2, a Falcon 2000, a Falcon 8X, and additional rotary-wing aircraft.
The company further holds a Guernsey air operator's certificate (AOC), offering charter services and aircraft management.
