FAI Aviation Group returns to AERO Friedrichshafen, Stand 11 in the Business Aviation Dome and Static Display No. 10 where it will showcase its latest Learjet 60XR. This latest addition marks the completion of its Learjet 60 to 60 XR renewal programme, having now replaced its four Legacy Learjet 60s with the XR model. Combining impressive range, speed, comfort and efficiency, the XR is proving a popular choice with charter customers.

Concurrently, FAI will be talking up its latest acquisition, a Bombardier Global 6000 which joined the fleet in February and strengthens its ultra long range capabilities. The introduction of the Global 6000 is part of the company’s ultra long range fleet renewal programme which includes replacing its legacy Global Express with Global 6000’s. It marks FAI‘s sixth Global Express and brings its total business jet fleet to 17. FAI continues to eye Bombardier Challenger 605 and Global 6000 aircraft to replace its existing five legacy Bombardier Challenger 604 and five Global Express BD 700 aircraft, respectively.

Featuring a large galley and spacious, three zone cabin, the Global 6000 can accommodate up to 14 passengers. With a non-stop range of 6,000 nautical miles, the Global 6000 is ideally suited for intercontinental travel. The aircraft is available for immediate corporate charter.

Siegfried Axtmann, Group Chairman and Founder of FAI Aviation Group, commented: “We are excited to be returning to Europe’s leading international trade show for business and general aviation, with its record number of exhibitors. We are pleased to be showcasing our latest Learjet 60 XR underscoring FAI’s commitment to offering modern, efficient and high-performing aircraft to its charter clients. We look forward to welcoming customers and delegates to our stand at AERO Friedrichshafen.”
