Austrian operator IJM has added a factory-new Challenger 650 to its AOC. The managed aircraft is the first of its type to be commercially available for ad hoc charter in the country. It has a wide cabin and can accommodate up to 12 passengers.

“I am very proud of the fact that IJM has the very first commercially operated Challenger 650 in Austria,” says CEO Felix Feller. “Our client made a great choice with this aircraft.”

The Challenger has a Lufthansa Networked Integrated Cabin Equipment CMS, wi-fi and a range of other air to ground technologies. “You can use any device on the aircraft and so far everyone that has experienced the aircraft has been amazed,” adds MD Robert Schmölzer. “We have had no technical issues so far which is also very satisfying.”
