Bombardier Challenger 350

Twin Jet· 200 globally registered

The Bombardier Challenger 350 is a super-midsize business jet that evolved from the highly successful Challenger 300, entering service in 2014 as a refined successor with improved avionics and cabin enhancements. Built in Montreal, the CL35 bridges the gap between midsize and large-cabin jets, offering transcontinental range with a comfortable stand-up cabin that seats eight to ten passengers in typical executive configurations. Its twin Honeywell HTF7350 engines deliver excellent hot-and-high performance, and the aircraft's 3,200-nautical-mile range allows nonstop flights like New York to London or Los Angeles to Honolulu. The Challenger 350 competes directly with the Gulfstream G280 and Embraer Praetor 600 in the fractional ownership and charter markets, where its combination of speed, range, and cabin comfort has made it a fleet staple. With a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.83 and a service ceiling of 45,000 feet, the CL35 operates efficiently above most weather and airline traffic. The type's reliability and dispatch rates consistently rank among the best in its class, contributing to strong residual values and widespread adoption by fractional operators. Its cockpit features the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite (Garmin G5000 in later production), providing advanced situational awareness and reduced pilot workload on long missions. SkyMeter has tracked 2,666 flights across 405 airframes and 244 operators, with FLEXJET LLC the largest observed operator.
