Fast-growing charter group Zetta Jet has one of its two Bombardier Global 5000s here on the MEBAA static display. The fleet of the Singapore-based company also includes four of the larger Global 6000 models (pictured here), plus a Global XRS and a pair of Global Express jets.

In early November, Zetta Jet, signed a $129 million deal to lease four Challenger 650s from Minsheng Financial Leasing, which is buying the 12-seat twinjets from Bombardier. The new aircraft will operate out of the company’s North American hub in Los Angeles, and deliveries have already begun.

The Global 5000 and 6000 cabins can seat up to 14 passengers and can be reconfigured to provide beds for between five and seven people. The aircraft feature Rockwell Collins’s Venue cabin management system and Bombardier Wave wireless connectivity package, based on Honeywell’s JetWave hardware and Inmarsat’s Ka-band JetConnex service. The cockpit is built around Bombardier’s Vision flight deck with a synthetic vision system and MultiScan radar as standard equipment, as well as an optional enhanced vision head-up display.
