Challenger 600
The original wide-cabin Challenger offers room to move and a separate baggage compartment. On these early aircraft, the interior refurbishment matters more than the production year alone.

Why consider this model?
How much space?
People and cabin dimensions share one scale. The cabin outline is illustrative. The layout is an example, not the seat map of the aircraft in your quote.
Room for your luggage
3.20 m³ of baggage space.
* Indicative estimate based on published baggage volume, for medium suitcases around 65 × 45 × 25 cm. Compartment shape, door openings, baggage weight and flight load can reduce the number. We confirm your luggage for the aircraft offered.
Skis, golf bags or extra luggage?
Include the number and dimensions of bulky items in your request. Long items need a separate check.

The model and its relatives
Challenger 600
Canadair developed the Challenger 600 from a business-jet concept acquired from Bill Lear. First deliveries followed in 1980. Its unusually wide fuselage gave passengers considerably more room across the cabin.
Challenger 601
A wide-cabin business jet with several long-range versions. The 601 combines generous shoulder room with a conventional private-jet layout; the exact version determines its range.
Challenger 604
The Challenger 604 pairs a broad stand-up cabin with intercontinental capability. It suits travellers who value usable cabin width and a baggage compartment accessible in flight.
Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved
The original Challenger put cabin width at the centre of its design. This was a different direction from Bill Lear’s earlier compact jets: passengers could sit across a broad aisle in a much roomier fuselage. That choice proved lasting, becoming the defining feature of the later 601, 604, 605 and 650.

The 600 used Lycoming engines. The subsequent Challenger 601 switched to General Electric engines and added winglets, while retaining the broad cabin that defined the family.
