The Challenger 3500 offers a maximum range of 6,297 kilometres and a maximum speed of 882 km/h, allowing it to complete non-stop flights from Saudi Arabia to Paris, Geneva and New Delhi.
Passengers also benefit from industry-leading reliability and the widest cabin in the super midsize class, 'making it a judicious addition to Aloula Aviation's fleet,' according to Thursday's news release.

Aloula, established in 1934, is Saudi Arabia's first aviation company and the second in the Middle East. The company operates more than 60 aircraft across a variety of industries, serving 18 airports throughout Saudi Arabia – nine of which Aloula fully operates – in addition to more than 300 helipads, both on and offshore.
The delivery follows S&P Global's upgrade to Bombardier's credit rating and a new speed record for the jet maker's Global 7500 aircraft, both announced earlier this week. Leadership insights

NORTHCLIFF ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
VANCOUVER, BC, June 19, 2025 /CNW/ - Northcliff Resources Ltd. ("Northcliff" or the "Company") (TSX: NCF) announces that it has arranged a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of 19,842,128 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at a price of C$0.06 per Common Share (based on the five day VWAP of the Common Shares for the five trading days ended May 29, 2025) for gross proceeds of C$1,190,527.68. The Common Shares issued are subject to applicable resale restrictions, including a hold period of four months and one day from the closing of the Private Placement under Canadian securities rules. The Private Placement is subject to customary closing conditions including final Toronto Stock Exchange approval. Proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund the Company's share of expenditures related to the Sisson Project and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Todd Sisson (NZ) Limited ("Todd"), a subsidiary of the Todd Corporation and a shareholder that holds in excess of 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, will subscribe for 16,157,166 Common Shares under the Private Placement. Andrew Ing, a director and officer of the Company, will subscribe for 323,242 Common Shares under the Private Placement and Scott Cousens, a director of the Company, will subscribe for 1,292,970 Common Shares under the Private Placement. Additionally, Barb Thomas, the spouse of Trevor Thomas, an officer of the Company, will subscribe for 77,578 Common Shares under the Private Placement. Each of Todd, Andrew Ing, Scott Cousens and Barb Thomas are considered to be "insiders" by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The participation by each of Todd, Andrew Ing and Scott Cousens constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying upon the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction insofar as it involves interested parties (within the meaning of MI 61-101) in the Private Placement exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. As the terms of the Private Placement, including insider participation, were only recently finalized, the Company will file a material change report less than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement. The Company believes this shorter period is reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Private Placement in a timely and efficient manner. Upon closing of the Private Placement, Todd shall exercise its right to nominate a second director, Mr. Evan Davies, to the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Davies has been a senior executive at Todd since 2008 and has been Group CEO since early 2023. He has significant commercial and management experience across a range of industries.
