ACASS Adds Learjet 70 and Challenger 605 to Montreal Managed Fleet

Two aircraft to join ACASS’s Canadian AOC, expanding charter options for clients in Montreal and beyond

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, August 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ACASS, a leading global provider of business aviation services, is pleased to announce the addition of a Bombardier Learjet 70 and Bombardier Challenger 605 to its Montreal-based managed fleet. Both aircraft will be operated under ACASS’s Canadian Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and are expected to become available for charter in September.

The two additions expand the range of aircraft available to ACASS charter clients while offering distinct capabilities for different travel requirements.

The Learjet 70 combines the performance and efficiency traditionally associated with the Learjet family with a comfortable cabin ideally suited to short- and medium-range business and leisure travel. Its speed, performance and operating efficiency make it a versatile option for travel throughout Canada, the United States, the Caribbean and other regional destinations.

The Challenger 605 provides clients with a larger-cabin, longer-range option. Known for its spacious cabin, transcontinental and transatlantic capabilities, and passenger comfort, the aircraft is well suited to longer business and leisure missions. Its addition further broadens the range of charter solutions ACASS can offer from its Montreal base.

“The addition of these two aircraft gives our Montreal-based charter clients greater choice and flexibility in selecting the right aircraft for their travel requirements,” said Andre Khury, CEO of ACASS. “The Learjet 70 and Challenger 605 complement each other extremely well, allowing us to serve both regional and longer-range missions from our Canadian fleet.”

For aircraft owners, placing an aircraft on ACASS’s Canadian AOC can provide the opportunity to make the aircraft available for third-party charter when it is not being used privately, helping generate revenue that can offset a portion of the aircraft’s operating costs.

“We are increasingly seeing managed aircraft owners recognize the value of incorporating charter into their overall aircraft ownership strategy,” said Khury. “At the same time, demand for high-quality charter aircraft continues to create opportunities for us to expand the options available to our clients. These two additions are a good example of how our management and charter capabilities work together to benefit both aircraft owners and charter customers.”

As part of ACASS’s managed fleet, the Learjet 70 and Challenger 605 will benefit from the company’s integrated aircraft management infrastructure, including flight operations, maintenance oversight, crew management, safety and regulatory compliance, financial administration, and charter support.

Both aircraft will be operated in accordance with ACASS’s established safety and operational standards and supported by the company’s Montreal-based aircraft management and flight operations teams.
