Shenzhen-Based Donghai Jet Orders 5 Challenger 605 Aircraft

Bombardier Aerospace has confirmed a firm order for five super midsize Challenger 300 jets from Donghai Jet, a Shenzhen-based operator. The total value of the order is approximately $121 million US, based on the 2010 list price for typically equipped aircraft.

Upon delivery, the Challenger 300 business jets will join a new Challenger 605 jet, which was handed over during a special ceremony at Donghai Jet’s headquarters in Shenzhen on 13 November 2010. Donghai Jet will soon operate the first Challenger 300 and Challenger 605 jets to be based in China.

“This order is a very important milestone in the growth of our fleet of Learjet, Challenger and Global business jets in Greater China,” said Steve Ridolfi, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “The range and cabin size of the Challenger 300 and Challenger 605 jets are ideally suited for non-stop access throughout the region and are a perfect fit for Donghai Jet’s charter operation. We are honoured that Donghai Jet has put their confidence in our Challenger aircraft family to debut its business jet charter operations in China.”

Donghai Jet Co., Ltd. is headquartered at Shenzhen airport and was jointly established by Shenzhen Donggang Investment Development Ltd, East Pacific Holdings Ltd. and Win Glory Enterprises Ltd., a Sino-foreign joint venture. In addition to charter services, Donghai Jet Co., Ltd. also provides trading consultation, management and maintenance services for business jets.
