UAE’s ASM Air Expands Fleet with First Challenger 605

Aviation Services Management (ASM Air) has added its first Bombardier Challenger 605, expanding its business jet fleet in the UAE. The aircraft, A6-ASM (msn 5807), is 15.9 years old and configured to seat up to 11 passengers.

Previously operated by Saudi Arabia’s Aviation Horizons under the registration VP-CIF, the jet was based in Riyadh before its transition to ASM Air. Its last recorded flight was on October 10, 2024, when it conducted a test flight over Dubai World Central under the ‘HZS’ code. Aviation Horizons continues to operate another Challenger 605, registered in San Marino and based at Jeddah International.

With this addition, ASM Air’s fleet now includes two Learjet 60XRs, which are 14.2 years old on average, accommodating up to six passengers. These aircraft are also available in a medical evacuation configuration, enhancing the company’s charter and air ambulance services.

The Challenger 605 provides greater range and cabin space, aligning with ASM Air’s expansion strategy in the Middle East’s private aviation market. The jet will be available for VIP charter flights, catering to business and luxury travelers in the region.

With growing demand for premium business jets, ASM Air’s latest fleet addition strengthens its position in the UAE’s executive aviation sector, offering enhanced comfort, efficiency, and long-range capabilities for its clientele.
