The Gulfstream G150 has become the first member of the Gulfstream business aircraft family to gain European and US steep approach certification. The approval paves the way for the midsize jet to operate at airports with an approach angle of up to 6°. These include Lugano and Sion in Switzerland, Stephenville International in Newfoundland, Canada, Marseilles Provence in Marignane, France; and Chambery in Le Viviers du Lac, France.

Former Southwest Airlines executive Dave Harvey will become US charter aircraft provider Wheels Up’s chief commercial officer starting 20 May, an appointment coming as the company continues a broad restructuring.
Bombardier has disclosed that charter aircraft operator NetJets was the customer behind an order for 12 Challenger 3500 business jets landed by Bombardier last year.
Bombardier chief executive Eric Martel has largely ruled out the airframer developing a clean-sheet aircraft for at least the rest of the decade, saying competitive dynamics and technological advancements do not support such a move.
