What the Bombardier Challenger 350 is like

Best-selling super-midsize jet with a flat-floor, stand-up cabin typically seating 8-9 in a double-club layout; its 3,200 nm range covers U.S. coast-to-coast nonstop and stretches to transatlantic city pairs like New York-London, making it a charter staple for transcontinental missions.

Where the Bombardier Challenger 350 flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 3,200 nm range. We mark a route near the limit once it uses more than 85 percent of the published range, because a full cabin or a headwind can turn it into a fuel stop.

Time at cruise leaves out taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds, so a real block time runs longer.

Questions

Bombardier Challenger 350: charter questions

Typically 9 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 3,200 nautical miles (5,926 km, 3,682 statute miles), or roughly 7 hours at its typical cruise speed of 448 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 448 knots, about 516 mph or 830 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
Yes, on paper. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nautical miles, within the Bombardier Challenger 350’s 3,200, and takes roughly 5 hours at cruise speed before taxi, climb and winds. Los Angeles to Tokyo (4,746 nm) is beyond it and needs a fuel stop. The operator confirms it for your passengers, bags and date.
A super-midsize jet. Stand-up cabins with the range for coast-to-coast flights nonstop. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Dassault Falcon 50, Cessna Citation X, Bombardier Challenger 300 and Dassault Falcon 2000.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
