About this aircraft
The Challenger 604 modernized the heavy Challenger line with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4, structural updates, and improved range—becoming a 1990s–2000s charter favorite.
The wide cabin and solid transatlantic capability made it a default large-cabin twin before 605/650 arrived. Fleets remain large and empty legs are relatively common.
Choose 604 when you want proven Challenger comfort on long continental and ocean-crossing sectors.
