Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

Challenger 650

The 650 entered service in 2015 as the next step after the 605. Bombardier redesigned the cabin, updated the flight deck and increased takeoff thrust.

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 650 continued the large-cabin branch that began with the Challenger 600. It followed the 605 without a major change in fuselage dimensions. Bombardier instead combined a redesigned interior with stronger takeoff performance and updated systems, extending the life of the family’s original wide-cabin idea.

The 650 entered service in 2015 as the next step after the 605. Bombardier redesigned the cabin, updated the flight deck and increased takeoff thrust.

Its ancestry reaches back to the Challenger 600, but equipment and finishes have changed substantially. Charter interiors commonly combine individual seats with a sofa or conference area.
