About this aircraft
The Challenger 870 is a larger CRJ-based VIP airliner in the Challenger corporate jet family—aimed at high-density executive shuttle and government missions.
It offers airliner-derived cabin volume with business-aviation completions. Mission profiles differ from traditional Challenger 300/600 business jets: more seats, shorter average stage lengths relative to Globals.
Relevant for group movements that need regional-jet capacity in VIP fit.
