Bombardier Challenger 350 Jet Reaches 350th Delivery Milestone

Bombardier celebrates the 350th delivery of its Challenger 350 business jet.

Bombardier has celebrated the 350th delivery of its beloved and best-selling Challenger 350 business jet, with the landmark moment arriving after the aircraft’s 6th consecutive year as the world’s most delivered super mid-size business jet and captured 43 percent of market share in 2019.

“The 350th delivery of a Challenger 350 aircraft, reached after only six years in service, speaks volumes,” said Peter Likoray, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “This achievement shows the great confidence customers place in this aircraft and demonstrates Bombardier’s production proficiency and strong supplier base.”

Challenger 350 Upgrades

Bombardier has positioned the Challenger 350 as a force in the business jet industry, strengthening its position year after year with enhancements and upgrades to its performance and cabin experience.

Some of the enhancements to the Challenger 350 aircraft include an available compact head-up display (HUD) and Enhanced Vision System (EVS), having the ability to capture LED lights, which has been a challenge for traditional EVS systems. Additional interior improvements included class-leading cabin sound-proofing technology and refined cockpit aesthetics.

A performance improvement package was also introduced, which allows the Challenger 350 to fly up to 1,500 nautical miles farther than before out of short runways, achieved in part by better rudder authority and some beefed-up braking action, complementing its already impressive takeoff and landing performance that includes steep-approach capability.

Challenger 350 Range

Among the qualities that set this aircraft apart from competitors is an intercontinental range that holds true with a full fuel level and cabin loaded with eight passengers, giving the Challenger 350 a 3,200-nautical-mile (5,926 km) range. This allows connections between New York to London, or Paris to Dubai (Under certain operating conditions) all while giving passengers and owners a smooth ride and the lowest direct operating costs in its category. Among pilots, the Challenger 350 aircraft is recognized as being agile, reliable and a pleasure to fly.
