The Hong Kong Government Flying Service has taken delivery of the first of two specialized Challenger 605 aircraft ordered with Bombardier.

The multi-role aircraft can be used for search and rescue, VIP transportation, medical evacuation, as well as other special missions.

The Challenger multi-role aircraft will replace the existing search and rescue aircraft currently operated by the Hong Kong Government Flying Service for long-range search and rescue operations.

“We put our trust in Bombardier and are satisfied with the relationship we built throughout the development of this multi-role platform, as well as with the tremendous capacity of these specialized Challenger aircraft,” said Captain Michael Chan, Controller, Hong Kong Government Flying Service. “We are proud to take delivery of this new aircraft and are convinced it will serve the Hong Kong Government Flying Service well in its search and rescue missions.”

Several Challenger aircraft are currently deployed in multi-role service in Canada, Denmark, Switzerland and the Republic of Korea (South Korea). It is also used as a head of state aircraft in several countries.
