Comlux Aviation (Zurich) has placed a firm order with Boeing (BOE, Washington National) for two BBJ MAX 8s, the Swiss VIP charter operator's first such order.

"The two BBJ MAX 8s are a great addition to the Comlux fleet because they give our customers the flexibility to fly farther and more comfortably thanks to the lower cabin altitude," Richard Gaona, President and CEO, Comlux, The Aviation Group, said. "The long-range capability of the BBJ MAX 8 is critical to all of our customers, but especially our Middle East customers who often use Comlux aircraft for long-haul flights."

Comlux operates a variety of corporate and VIP configured aircraft including A318-100CJs, A319-100CJs, A320CJs, various Bombardier Aerospace Challenger 600/601/604 executive jets, and eventually, two SSJ 100/95s.

It has subsidiaries all over the world including Comlux Aruba (CS, Aruba), Comlux Aviation Malta (MLM, Malta International), Comlux KZ (KAZ, Almaty International), and Comlux Middle East (Bahrain International).
