The Challenger 350 replaced the Challenger 300 in 2014, with the Challenger 3500 inheriting the throne in 2022.
Business Jet Traveler writes about the latest addition, “The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is first in class for one reason: its cabin. The 3500’s dimensions place it in the super-midsize category, but it’s large cabin in feel, features, and attention to detail. That’s important because when you fly privately on a regular basis, small annoyances can start to feel like large ones.”
Improvements, according to the magazine, include “new seats, reduced cabin altitude, and a cabin management system that can be individually controlled via an app on each passenger’s personal device.”
Both the Challenger 350 and Challenger 3500 cabins are 6.08 feet high, 7.17 feet wide, and 23.7 feet long. Typical configurations include eight to nine passengers, with a three-seat divan replacing two club seats in the rear. The lavatory is located at the rear of the cabin.
The range of the Challenger 350 and Challenger 3500 is 3,277 nautical miles.
The price for a new Challenger 3500 is $26.7 million. Preowned types start at around $14.5 million.
