Bombardier increased its foothold in Central America with the delivery of the first Challenger 3500 in Costa Rica.&nbsp;The company has had an established base in Costa Rica since 2015, employing more than 100 people in support of finance and billing.
But the delivery last week to an unnamed customer marks a milestone for the super-midsize jet, underscoring its ability to connect Costa Rica to key business and leisure hubs, the Montreal-headquartered airframer said. With a 3,400-nm range, the aircraft can link San José with destinations such as Los Angeles, New York, Santiago, and Buenos Aires.
“With its high reliability, modern cabin, and exceptional runway performance, the Challenger 3500 has quickly established itself as the aircraft of choice for customers around the world as well as in Central America,” said Michael Anckner, sales v-p of worldwide preowned, fleet, defense, and Latin America. “This delivery marks an important growth milestone for our fleet in Central America and clearly demonstrates the trust that clients in the region have in Bombardier.”
