Bombardier Challenger 650 Facts
Featured by NetJets and VistaJet, over 1,000 of Bombardier’s Challenger 650 series are in active service, including the Challenger 605, Challenger 604, Challenger 601, and Challenger 600. The original went into service in 1981, and the most recent – the Challenger 650 – has been in production since 2015.
A new Challenger 650 is $32 million while used early model Challenger 600s can be had for under $1 million.
While lacking the range of Bombardier’s Global line of large-cabin private jets, the Challenger 650 has a nonstop range from New York to London, between Dubai and London, or from the West Coast to Hawaii.
