Bombardier Aerospace today announced that it has delivered a Challenger 605 aircraft to Mr. Ahmed Al Jarallah, based in Kuwait City, State of Kuwait. This aircraft will be operated by Gulf Wings and is the fourth Challenger aircraft in their fleet.

“We are delighted to welcome Mr. Al Jarallah to the Bombardier family and applaud his selection of the Challenger 605 jet,” said Bob Horner, Senior Vice President, Sales, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “This aircraft is perfectly suited for travel within the Middle East, while providing non-stop access to both Europe and Asia.”

Ahmed Al Jarallah is the editor-in-chief of Al-Seyassah, a highly regarded Kuwaiti news and entertainment industry company founded in 1965. Its daily newspaper has a circulation of 70,000 units, and its website is one of the most visited in the country.

“After long consideration, we chose the Challenger 605 jet for its spacious cabin, luxurious interior and its long-range capabilities in linking key cities, such as Kuwait City to Casablanca,” noted Mr. Al Jarallah, who was present at the special entry-into-service ceremony.

Bombardier's Challenger 605 and Challenger 600 Series jets lead the large aircraft segment in the Middle East with a market share of 73 per cent.
