About the Challenger 3500
The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is the latest evolution of the best-selling super-midsize platform in business aviation — the Challenger 300/350 lineage that has defined the class for two decades. Announced in 2021 and entering service in 2022, it keeps the proven airframe and performance while modernising the cabin and flight deck around comfort, technology and sustainability.
The aircraft offers the widest-in-class flat-floor cabin, a smooth ride and a range of roughly 3,400 nautical miles at a Mach 0.80 cruise, linking city pairs such as London to Dubai or Los Angeles to New York. It introduced first-in-class features including a voice-controlled Smart Cabin, 4K displays and an auto-throttle, and it is compatible with sustainable aviation fuel.
The Challenger 3500 suits operators who want a proven, low-risk super-midsize with a genuinely wide cabin and the latest cabin technology. Buyers who need transatlantic-plus range or a taller cabin will step up to a large-cabin jet; those who value the reliability of the most successful platform in the segment, refreshed with modern comfort and interface, find the 3500 a natural choice.
