BOMBARDIER AIRCRAFT ON STATIC DISPLAY

Learjet 60 XR aircraft: The Learjet 60 XR aircraft is a proven model of performance, comfort, value and versatility in the midsize jet market segment. It delivers a high cruise speed of Mach 0.81 (861 kmph), superior climb capabilities, proven fuel efficiency and low direct operating costs per nautical mile. The jet’s higher operating altitudes - certified to 51,000 ft (15,545 m) - translate to time savings due to better winds, less traffic and less turbulence. The Learjet 60 XR aircraft can fly from Hyderabad to Hong Kong nonstop with four passengers and two crew.

Challenger 300: A bespoke customer-designed aircraft, the Challenger 300 jet offers transcontinental range and superior long-range cruise speed with eight passengers. It can fly Hyderabad-Shanghai non-stop with a full payload, and its superior airfield performance allows the aircraft to operate out of 5,000-foot (1,524 m) runways with ease. The Challenger 300 business jet offers the best performance and value amongst its competitors and has consistently exceeded customer expectations. With over 300 Challenger 300 jets in service, it is the market leader amongst its peers.

Global 5000: The super large Global 5000 jet combines superior transatlantic speed with the largest cabin in its market segment. It features high-speed Internet connectivity, unmatched entertainment options, a head-up flight display system and one of the largest field-of-view of any business aircraft. The aircraft can connect Hyderabad to Cape Town non-stop with 10 passengers and three crew.

Q400 NextGen: Optimised for short-haul operations, the “comfortably greener,” 70- to 80-seat Q400 NextGen aircraft is a large, fast, quiet and fuel-efficient turboprop. It provides an ideal balance of passenger comfort and operating economics with a reduced environmental footprint. The SpiceJet Q400 NextGen aircraft which will be on display, is one of seven delivered to the airline. After a little more than six months in high-cycle service, and operating in often harsh, “hot and high” environments, SpiceJet’s fleet of Q400 NextGen aircraft has already reached a dispatch reliability of 99.4 per cent. This remarkable achievement is a strong testimony to the ruggedness and reliability of the Q400 NextGen aircraft which is also proving itself to be very popular with SpiceJet’s passengers.
