Sky Quest Retires Only Challenger 350 from Fleet

Sky Quest, based at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, has retired its sole Challenger 350 from its Part 135-certified fleet, marking the second consecutive month of aircraft retirements following the exit of a Hawker 400XP. The Challenger 350, registered as N555AD (msn 20621), flew its final mission under Sky Quest’s ‘ERY’ code on September 9, 2024, from Cleveland Cuyahoga County to Moline.

The 8.5-year-old jet, previously registered in the Isle of Man until 2020, joined Sky Quest before being de-registered in the U.S. on October 8. It was re-registered in Canada on November 15 as C-GTUF and is now operating under Chartright Air at Toronto Pearson, where it joins two other Challenger 350s.

Sky Quest’s current charter fleet consists of 21 aircraft, including a Challenger 300, two Challenger 605s, a Gulfstream G450, and several Hawker models, such as the 400XT, 850XP, 800XPI, and 900XP, alongside five Learjet 40XRs.

Specializing in private jet charters, aircraft management, sales, acquisitions, and jet card membership services, Sky Quest continues to refine its fleet to align with operational needs and market demands.

The retirement of the Challenger 350 reflects the company’s ongoing fleet optimization efforts, ensuring it delivers top-tier services while maintaining a versatile and efficient fleet for its growing client base.
