Magellan Jets is offering two extra-value packages if you purchase 100 hours of flight time on a Gulfstream G450 or Challenger 300/350. The offer runs through May 31.
Magellan Jets is revamping its line-up of semi-specific jet cards. The move is designed to focus its jet card line-up around Cessna’s Citation, Bombardier, and Gulfstream aircraft.
Gulfstream Aerospace had the most popular large cabin and super long-range private jets in 2020, according to just-released data from Argus TRAQPak.
At the same time, Textron Aviation saw three of its business aircraft take the top spot in three of the eight categories. Its Beechcraft King Air 200 was the most flown multi-engine turboprop. The Cessna Citation Mustang was the most popular very light jet. Its Citation Excel/XLS/XLS+ won the midsize private jet category.
Originally launched as the Bombardier Continental, the Challenger 300 is popular for its flat floor standup cabin and ability to fly U.S. coast to coast nonstop.
The Challenger 300 and its identical sister the Challenger 350 are popular with fractional aircraft providers and also dedicated jet card options.
The price for a used Challenger 300 starts at about $7.5 million.
