About this aircraft
The Challenger 600 launched Bombardier's large-cabin business-jet story—widebody comfort drawn from the Canadair design that defined a class.
Early 600s proved the wide-cabin twin formula before 601/604/605/650 refinements. Remaining airframes sit in legacy heavy fleets rather than mainstream new-charter inventory, often with aftermarket glass and refreshed interiors.
Historically essential as the root of every later Challenger heavy—choose it for heritage large-cabin missions, not current 650 economics.
