CSI Aviation Services, Inc. arranged an aircraft for a simulated hijacking earlier this month for an exercise between the United States and Russia.
The aircraft, a Challenger 604, was crossing the Bering Sea when the simulated hijacking occurred. As part of the exercise, the aircraft did not respond to communications, resulting in the Federal Aviation Administration and Transportation Security Agency notifying the U.S. military. Once notified, fighter jets intercepted the plane. Russia also launched aircraft, and the two governments coordinated together to prevent a potential terrorist attack.
“This is just one example of how CSI continues to assist the federal government in chartering and leasing aircraft,” said Gretchen Collins, Vice President of Special Contracts and Business Development. “The U.S. government trusts CSI because of our experience and dependability. The government knows that each time it uses CSI for our services, we deliver the results they are looking for.”
Since 1990, CSI has played an integral part in the federal government air transportation system. Every year, a number of government agencies rely on CSI for their day-to-day flight requirements.
CSI’s government contracts include managed air charter transportation services, on-demand domestic and international charter flights, aircraft purchase as well as wet and dry leasing.

Embraer’s
ultra-large Lineage 1000 executive jet received Type Certificate from
the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), following the
certifications from United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) and Brazil’s National Civil
Aviation Agency (ANAC). This paves the way to register and operate the
Linage 1000 in China, and marks an important step symbolizing Embraer’s
commitment to the Chinese executive aviation market.
“It is exceptionally exciting news that the Lineage 1000 has received validation from CAAC, which is a strong recognition of our product. Embraer is now able to better serve customers of the Lineage 1000 in the Chinese market, and those who require certification from CAAC, as well,” said Ernest Edwards, President, Embraer Executive Jets.
The Lineage 1000 is Embraer’s largest executive jet among its full line of seven different models. It provides a balance of performance, intelligent luxury and high reliability. Its range (4,500 nautical miles, or 8,334 kilometers, with four passengers and NBAA IFR fuel reserves) assures the jet’s capability to fly nonstop from Beijing (China) to Dubai (United Arab Emirates), from Hong Kong to Sydney (Australia), from London (UK) to Dubai and from New York (U.S.) to Moscow (Russia). The jet is equipped with the Honeywell Primus Epic® avionics suite and the latest electronic fly-by-wire flight control system, which provide pilots with a highly intuitive and professional cockpit to guarantee safe and smooth trips.
The aircraft also features an extremely spacious interior that can accommodate 19 passengers in five distinct private zones, providing ultimate comfort and elegance, as well as state-of-the art technologies, to facilitate working during flight. Onboard amenities may include a queensize bed, stand-up shower, wireless internet access, and complete audio and entertainment systems. A pressurized walk-in aft baggage area, which is the largest in its category, is conveniently accessible throughout the flight.
