Through the Flexjet 25 program, customers can also buy flight time in 25-hour blocks without taking an ownership interest in a plane. Flexjet's fleet of more than 90 aircraft includes Learjet and Challenger business jets manufactured by the company's parent, Montreal-based Bombardier. Flexjet was established in 1995.
