Zenith Aviation, one of Great Britain's leading
bespoke charter service providers, will take delivery of two brand
new Learjet 75 aircraft later this month.
"We are delighted to be once again working with Bombardier
and welcoming the Learjet 75 aircraft into our fleet - the Learjet brand is synonymous with our facility at London Biggin Hill," said
Stuart Mulholland, Managing Director of Zenith Aviation.
"Having seen the first Learjet 45 aircraft arrive over 17 years
ago, we are now very much looking forward to the arrival of the
iconic Learjet 75 business jet."
The new charter aircraft are scheduled to arrive at
London Biggin
Hill Airport at the end of September. This will mark a significant
upgrade in Zenith Aviation's aircraft charter offering following
its move to offer worldwide flights alongside shorter charters to
Europe at the beginning of the year. Both aircraft will be managed
and chartered by Zenith and are set to join the company's fleet in
the coming weeks.
"We've had a hugely
successful year for our business and this expansion is a key part
of our growth and development strategy moving forward. We are
anticipating growing our fleet of managed aircraft and further
development of our facilities, and also adding to our Part 145
capability at Biggin Hill Airport over the coming months," added
Stuart.
The Learjet 75 jet features the Bombardier Vision flight deck, an eight-seat double-club configuration with a flat floor
throughout the cabin and plenty of legroom. The
aircraft is also available in a six-seat executive configuration,
offering enhanced comfort and productivity features
The Learjet 75's more
powerful engines and new winglet design enables it to cruise at a
speed of Mach 0.81 and climb to an operating ceiling of 51,000
ft. The aircraft can also achieve a range of more than 2,000 NM (3,704 km).
Its modern interior
features a new cabin management system with individual touchscreen
monitors and full audio and video control; LED lighting throughout
the entire aircraft; a baggage area and a
galley to optimize catering.
The Learjet 75 aircraft can fly four
passengers and two crew members non-stop from London to Moscow.
