Bombardier Challenger 605 jet approved to fly into London City Airport
19.06.07
Bombardier Aerospace has announced that its widebody Challenger 605 business jet has been certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Transport Canada (TC) to fly into London City Airport. This approval for steep approach and landing capability at London City applies to all Challenger 604 and Challenger 605 aircraft.
Open since September 2002, the London City Airport Jet Centre is recognized by business jet users for providing a premium jet service, with capacity for up to 14,000 aircraft movements per year. In order to qualify to operate at London City Airport, an aircraft must demonstrate its ability to be flown safely at a 5.5-degree or greater approach angle, take off and land on the airport's 4327 foot (1319 meter) runway, and meet the local noise requirements.
Pierre Gabriel Côté, president, Bombardier Business Aircraft, said: 'This is fantastic news for Challenger aircraft operators and an important advantage for busy executives who fly on Challenger 604 and Challenger 605 jets. London is one the world's most important financial centres and London City Airport is, by far, the quickest way to access the city.'
