The model and its relatives

Challenger 3500

Announced in 2021 and first delivered in 2022, the 3500 developed the Challenger 350 rather than replacing it with a completely new airframe. The most visible change is the Nuage seat and the redesigned cabin environment.

Challenger 300

A super midsize jet with a flat cabin floor and seating for a typical group of eight or nine. The Challenger 300 balances cabin space with useful range for longer regional trips.

Challenger 350

8-9 passengers, a 1.83 m cabin and a reference range of 5,926 km.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The 300 introduced this super midsize platform, and the 350 improved its wing, engines and cabin. The 3500 then concentrated strongly on passenger comfort. Its seating drew on Bombardier’s larger Global range, bringing that approach into the existing Challenger cabin without turning it into a longer aircraft.

The quoted maximum range uses a light passenger load. With a larger group and more luggage, the operator checks whether a fuel stop is needed for your route.
