Bombardier Challenger 300

The Challenger 300 was Bombardier's first purpose-built super midsize jet, originally known as the Bombardier Continental before its renaming. It established the 7.2-foot cabin width and coast-to-coast range formula that the Challenger 350 and 3500 subsequently refined. Two decades of production created one of the largest super midsize charter fleets in the world, giving it consistent availability across operator networks.

Twin Honeywell HTF7000 turbofan engines, a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, and a flat-floor stand-up cabin define the Challenger 300. It suits travelers who want a proven, widely available super midsize jet with coast-to-coast range at the most accessible rate in the Challenger family.

The Challenger 300 entered service in 2003 as Bombardier's first purpose-built super midsize jet, originally named the Bombardier Continental. A Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, twin Honeywell HTF7000 turbofans, and a flat-floor 7.2-foot cabin with coast-to-coast range define this proven platform.

The Challenger 300 established the 7.2-foot cabin width standard that the Challenger 350 and 3500 retained without change. Its large production run, proven engines, and widespread operator adoption give it one of the strongest fleet availability profiles in the super midsize category, translating to more consistent charter availability and fewer repositioning costs for clients.

A super midsize jet trades a midsize jet's lower hourly rate for a larger cabin, longer range, and stronger climb performance. At $4,500 to $6,500 per hour, private jet charter on the Challenger 300 runs above a midsize jet such as the Citation XLS, but its 3,100-nautical-mile range and wide cabin suit long-range and transcontinental trips a midsize jet cannot match.

• More range: 3,100 nm versus roughly 2,100 to 3,000 nm for most midsize jets.
• Higher cost: $4,500 to $6,500 per hour versus $3,500 to $5,500 for a midsize jet.
• Wider cabin: 7.2 feet of width, the widest in the super midsize comparison set, versus a midsize jet's narrower cabin.
• Best mission: long-range and transcontinental trips for up to ten passengers where cabin width and range matter most.

The Challenger 300 seats eight in a double-club configuration, with capacity up to ten.

• Flat-floor stand-up headroom and individual AC power plugs at every seat are standard.
• An enclosed private lavatory and galley for in-flight meal preparation are standard.
• Two-zone climate control serves both passenger and cockpit sections.
• Confirm exact cabin configuration and entertainment options at booking, as equipment varies by aircraft.

The Challenger 300 performs best on long-range domestic and transcontinental routes where its proven cabin and wide fleet availability deliver consistent value.
