FAI Grows Charter Fleet with Second Global 6000 Bizjet

German charter operator FAI Aviation has added a second Bombardier Global 6000 to its fleet, expanding capacity for long-range flights. With approximately 900 hours on the airframe, the jet is based at FAI’s Nuremberg headquarters and is now bookable for worldwide charter.

The business jet is the seventh Global-series aircraft in FAI’s lineup, pushing the operator’s all-Bombardier fleet, which also includes five Challenger 604s and six Learjet 60/60XRs, to 18 jets. The aircraft changed hands roughly five weeks after FAI signed the letter of intent with its previous owner.

According to FAI Aviation founder and chairman Siegfried Axtmann, the addition addresses rising demand for long-range charter. “With its exceptional range, comfort and reliability, the aircraft is ideally suited to the needs of our international clientele. Presented in immaculate condition and with its exceptionally low hours, it is a superb addition to our fleet,” he said.

With a 6,000-nm range, the Global 6000 can link distant business centers without a fuel stop, including pairings such as London-Dubai, Frankfurt-Singapore, or Geneva-New York. The cabin seats up to 14 passengers across three zones and includes Gogo Galileo satcom. FAI’s association with the Global line dates to 2010.
