flyExclusive has added the first Challenger 350 super-midsize aircraft to its fractional programme. The jet, which has a 3,200nm range, is the first of what could be as many as 20 Challenger 350s to be added to the fleet within the next two years.

“With the addition of the Challenger 350 to our fractional fleet, customers will have the chance to own a jet that boasts a cross-country, non-stop range in the largest cabin in the super-midsize category,” says CEO and founder Jim Segrave. “This is a beautiful jet that our customers will love. It’s fast and it’s spacious. Whether you want to stand up and walk on the flat floor during the flight, get work done as you fly non-stop cross country or enjoy a meal prepared in a full galley, you can do it on our Challenger 350s.”

The aircraft cabin is comparable to a Gulfstream G-IVSP and has space for eight passengers and 106 cubic feet of baggage. flyExclusive will sell shares in the jets in 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 hour increments.

The arrival of the aircraft signals the next phase of the company’s strategic focus on modernising its fleet and expanding its fractional programme. In February, the company appointed industry veteran Drake Sneed as SVP of fractional sales having listed on the NYSE American in December.

The wi-fi-enabled Challenger 350 has a comfortable stand-up interior with leather upholstered captain’s chair seating, a flat floor design and cargo room for up to 15 large bags.
