A Bombardier Challenger 300 business jet (illustrated) landed at St Helena Airport in the East Atlantic on 10 April 2016, at around 1120, the first ever jet aircraft to land at St Helena Airport (HLE). The island, a British Overseas Territory, lies 1210 miles west of Namibia, 4,000 miles east of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This business jet was chartered by Air Safety Support International (ASSI) to bring its team of five personnel to St Helena to assess St Helena Airport, the construction of which had only recently been completed.
