Order for Second Bombardier Learjet 40 Business Jet
Business Editors
GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2004--EBACE 2004
German charter operator adds another aircraft to its fleet to
meet surging demand.
Cirrus Aviation of Zweibrucken, Germany, today purchased its
second Bombardier Learjet 40(i) light business jet. The order comes
only three months after Cirrus began operating its first Bombardier
Learjet 40 aircraft, and will help Cirrus meet a growing demand for
trans-European business travel.
'This positive development underlines the suitability of the new
Learjet 40 aircraft for European charter operations,' stated Bob
Horner, regional vice-president, sales, Europe, Bombardier Aerospace
(TSX:BBD.A) (TSX:BBD.B), Business Aircraft.
Sporting a distinctive black-and-silver livery, the Cirrus
Learjet 40 fleet is based at Zweibrucken Airport, as part of Cirrus
Aviation's growing charter services. Both aircraft are also part of
Bombardier's popular Flexjet Europe charter network, which, as part
of Bombardier Flexjet, offers seamless transportation service
worldwide.
'The Learjet 40 has surpassed our highest expectations,' declared
Gerd Brandecker, managing director, Cirrus Aviation. 'The aircraft
combines great range for six passengers with cabin comfort that's
above the standard for this category of jets. Since we started flying
last February, customer feedback about our first Learjet 40 has been
overwhelmingly positive. The aircraft has proven to be ideal for our
charter fleet so it makes good sense to add a second jet.'
Other factors influencing the decision are the aircraft's
superior maintainability and advanced avionics. 'Our pilots find it
easy to operate, and our ground technicians report that the airplane
is very reliable and very little service is required,' noted Mr.
Brandecker.
Cirrus Aviation is part of the Cirrus Group consisting of Cirrus
Airlines/Team Lufthansa, Cirrus Flight Training and Cirrus
Maintenance. By applying the certified maintenance procedures of
Cirrus Airlines/Team Lufthansa, the Cirrus Learjet 40 fleet is
maintained and operated to the highest safety and service standards
in the world.
Fully certificated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
in January 2004, the Bombardier Learjet 40 can operate at altitudes
up to 51,000 feet (15,545 m). With full fuel and six passengers, it
can fly 1,782 nautical miles (3,300 km), and leads its class in
payload-range capability for all missions with payloads greater than
1,000 pounds (454 kg). From Frankfurt, Cirrus passengers currently
fly non-stop to Reykjavik, Moscow, and Cairo. Its 368-cubic-foot
cabin (10.42-cu-m) is at least 20 per cent larger than competing jets.
The Bombardier Learjet 40 entered service in January 2004; a
total of nine aircraft are currently in service.
