MRF Tyres has signed a deal to buy a Bombardier Challenger for executive travel and Sun TV has bought a Bombardier 605 business jet. Both aircraft will be operated and maintained by Aerosource, a consultancy.

“There are four other companies that have firm plans to buy business jets,” said Aerosource Managing Director Vinod Singel. “We are seeing customers that had suspended plans coming back. Companies look at business jets when they have excess cash. Now it is happening,” he added.
