OLBIA, Italy, July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier is excited to
announce the presence of the Challenger 3500 aircraft mockup at the private
terminal of the Costa Smeralda Airport in Olbia, Italy. Throughout the summer,
business aviation clients will have a firsthand opportunity to experience the
award-winning cabin and see the revolutionary seating of the super midsize jet.
The journey of the full-size aircraft mockup included stops in Paris and Nice,
France, and provides a convenient setting for European clients to discover the
innovative and sophisticated features that make the Bombardier Challenger 3500
the leader in its class.
"The presence of the Bombardier Challenger 3500 mockup in a frequented travel
destination such as Olbia is a testament to our commitment to providing a
stress-free and easy access to product viewing," said Emmanuel Bornand, Vice
President, International Sales, Bombardier. "This is one of the many ways we
make the business aviation experience unique. Every step of the way, we
consistently tailor our services and support to meet our clients at their
altitude, and that only comes from a genuine understanding of who they are and
what they need. We are thankful to have this opportunity to showcase the amazing
comfort, luxury and seamless technological features of the best-selling
Challenger 3500 in the beautiful Sardinian FBO."
The Challenger 3500 business jet, ''Best of the Best'' laureate of the
prestigious Red Dot Awards for Product Design, boasts the widest cabin in its
class, providing passengers with an unparalleled sense of space and comfort. The
custom-made cabin is a pinnacle of innovation and luxury, featuring the
industry's first integrated voice-controlled technology in its segment, 4K
monitors, and Bombardier's revolutionary Nuage seats that offer peerless comfort
and support by mimicking the natural movements of the human body.
Designed with wellness in mind, the state-of-the-art aircraft has also the
lowest cabin altitude in its class, standing at 4,850 feet, which significantly
reduces passenger fatigue and enhances overall well-being. Advanced sound
insulation contributes to a serene travel environment, allowing passengers to
work, rest, or converse in peace.
The Challenger 3500 has an impressive range, capable of flying 3,400 nautical
miles (6,297 kilometers), which allows the aircraft to fly out of Olbia to
anywhere non-stop in Europe and in most sought-after cities of Africa and the
Middle East, including Abu Dhabi, Lagos, Nairobi and Brazzaville. This
remarkable range is complemented by the super midsize jet's ability to operate
in challenging airports around the world, thanks to its takeoff distance of
4,835 feet (1,474 meters) and a landing distance of 2,308 feet (703 meters).
The pilot-centric avionics suite of the Challenger 3500 ensures a seamless
flight experience, and the overall aircraft performance capabilities can be
trusted to offer a striking dispatch reliability rate of over 99.8%. With the
lowest direct operating costs in its class, the Challenger 3500 represents
reliability and value.
Guests of the Costa Smeralda Airport are welcome to visit the Bombardier
Challenger 3500 mockup anytime without appointment throughout the months of July
and August. Clients interested in discovering the super midsize jet can also
book a private viewing by contacting the Bombardier Sales team
