Aero-Dienst (ADN, Nuremberg) has taken delivery of the first of two ordered Challenger 650s. The brand-new aircraft, D-ADAC (msn 6238), was ferried between Bombardier Business Aircraft's Montréal Trudeau production facilities and Nuremberg on September 11. Ordered in mid-2024, the jet was planned for delivery in August 2026. Aero-Dienst told ch-aviation exclusively that the aircraft is planned to enter service in October.
A second Challenger 650, ordered in mid-2026, is scheduled for delivery in May 2027 and should enter service in October. In an exclusive interview with ch-aviation in June 2026, Aero-Dienst managing director Oliver Kosing said both 650s will replace two ageing Learjet 60XRs which, alongside two Do328-300s, form part of the company's air ambulance fleet.
