NetJets is adding the large-cabin Bombardier Challenger 650 to its European fleet beginning in 2022 as it continues to see “unprecedented demand, for which interest does not appear to be slowing,” the fractional operator announced this week.

The 11-passenger twinjet features a cabin with the same width as NetJets' flagship Bombardier Global 6000, and it will come equipped with Ka-band Wi-Fi and wireless entertainment. NetJets will display the new model during a roadshow tour in Europe next year.
The addition of the Challenger 650 to the fractional provider's European fleet comes as the company responds to a level of demand for private flying it said it has never previously seen. As a result, it is pulling aircraft deliveries forward where it can and pausing aircraft dispositions. It expects to take delivery of more than 125 new aircraft by the end of next year, with at least 25 arriving in the spring.
Hiring at NetJets is also on the increase, with 550 employees-250 pilots and 300 non-crew-hired so far this year. Recruitment is underway for another 100 pilots and 120 staff.
Additionally, the company put all jet card requests on a waitlist earlier this year and now has a backlog for such requests numbering more than 1,500. NetJets has also paused share and lease sales for immediate access, which has eased the strain on the availability of aircraft for its shareowners.

The phenom purchase is well thought as demand soars for private aviation especially for short flight within the 3500 nautical miles perimeter.

I was hoping to see the Longitude come to Europe.
