About this aircraft
The Bombardier Challenger 300 helped define the super-midsize category: a wide cabin, strong cruise performance, and range suited to most continental trips.
Later models (350 / 3500) refined the formula, but the original remains ubiquitous in charter fleets. Passengers get a flat-floor cabin feel uncommon in lighter midsize jets, while operators value dispatch reliability and known operating costs.
It is a frequent EmptyJet sweet spot—more cabin than a light jet, without ultra-long-range pricing.
