August 2026 fleet announcement: ASM Charter introduced a second Challenger 605. The aircraft was announced for operation by ASM AIR under its UAE GCAA Air Operator Certificate. For current charter options, aircraft and operating-carrier availability must be confirmed for the proposed itinerary.
Dubai, UAE – August 2026 – Aviation Services Management (ASM) has expanded its private charter offering with the addition of another Bombardier Challenger 605 to the ASM Charter fleet, further strengthening the company’s long-range private aviation capability from Dubai.
The aircraft will be operated by ASM AIR under its UAE GCAA Air Operator Certificate (AOC), combining ASM Charter’s customer-facing charter service with the operational framework, safety oversight and regulatory standards of a UAE-certified aircraft operator.
The addition marks another step in the continued development of ASM Charter, providing clients with greater access to long-range private travel for business, personal and time-sensitive journeys.
With a range of approximately 4,000 nautical miles, the Challenger 605 is well suited to regional and international missions. Its spacious stand-up cabin, long-range performance and comfortable passenger environment make it an established choice for executive and private travel.
Strengthening Choice for Charter Clients
At the time of the announcement, the additional aircraft expanded the range of proposals ASM Charter could discuss from the UAE. Compare the dedicated 9-seat Challenger 605 and 11-seat Challenger 605 cabin configurations for mission-specific charter planning.
ASM Charter manages the journey from the initial enquiry through quotation and trip coordination, bringing together aircraft availability, routing, airport requirements and passenger arrangements.
Operator enquiries can also use ASM’s flight support and aviation fuel supply through its fuel supply partners. Travellers can review ASM Charter and the France charter planning guide for an example of route-specific airport and baggage decisions.
Vito Gomes, Founder and CEO of ASM, said:
“Growth in aviation is not simply about adding another aircraft. It is about having the confidence to invest in capability, even when the market and operating environment continue to evolve.
The addition of another Challenger 605 reflects our long-term vision for private aviation and our commitment to building ASM Charter into a stronger offering for clients who value flexibility, reliability and professional operational support.
Every expansion brings greater responsibility, and we will continue to grow with the same focus on operational standards, service and long-term relationships that has guided ASM from the beginning.”
