Bombardier Challenger 650 Charter

Published

The Bombardier Challenger 650 is the entry to the heavy class, built around the widest cabin in its segment — a full 7 feet 11 inches on a shorter fuselage. Range is 4,000 nautical miles and seating runs ten to twelve. That width buys true stand-up, walk-around room on a short trip, and the New York to Miami corridor is flown nonstop from Teterboro Airport (TEB) in about two and a half hours.

Specification

Range is 4,000 nautical miles against a route near 950, so New York to Miami is nonstop with large reserves. Cruise is 470 ktas, Mach 0.85. The ceiling is 41,000 feet. Power is two General Electric CF34-3B engines, a proven pairing known for reliability and quiet operation.

Cabin

The cabin stands 6 feet high and 7 feet 11 inches wide — the widest in its class — across a 25-foot-7 length. Baggage volume is 115 cubic feet. Ten to twelve seats fit a full club-plus-divan layout, giving each passenger generous shoulder and aisle room on the route.

On this route

The Challenger 650 trades outright length for unmatched width, the most cabin volume per dollar at the entry to heavy. Its nearest alternatives are the Falcon 2000LXS and the Gulfstream G450; the heavy jet class page compares them. With 4,000 miles of range it covers the corridor nonstop and reaches the Caribbean from Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) without a stop.
