Ryanair has acquired a new Bombardier Challenger 3500 for corporate use, as reported by ch-aviation, with registration M-ABSU in the Isle of Man.
The Challenger 3500 was delivered from Montréal Trudeau to Dublin International, before continuing its journey to London Stansted on the same day.
Previously, Ryanair’s corporate fleet included Learjet 45-series aircraft ranging in age from 12 to 21 years, three Learjet 45XRs purchased between 2012 and 2015 and a Learjet 45 acquired in 2022.
All corporate jets operated by Ryanair are owned by Aviation Finance and Leasing, a subsidiary of Ryanair Holdings, and are primarily used for transporting parts and repositioning flight crews. They are based at the airline’s primary maintenance hubs in Milan Bergamo and London Stansted.
