Bombardier Challenger 3500

The Challenger 3500 is Bombardier's current-production evolution of the Challenger 350, retaining the same 7.2-foot-wide cabin and airframe while introducing a Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite, an updated cabin interior with personal angled touchscreens on new side ledges, and 200 additional nautical miles of range over the 350. It is the most current-technology private jet charter option in the Challenger super midsize line.

One important point to understand when comparing the 3500 to the 350: the cabin dimensions are identical. Travelers who expect a larger cabin for the higher hourly rate will find the same 25.2 x 7.2 x 6.1-foot space, with the upgrades concentrated in avionics, cabin technology, and range rather than physical cabin size.

The Challenger 3500 entered production in 2022 as the current-production successor to the Challenger 350, retaining its proven airframe while upgrading avionics, cabin technology, and range.

The Challenger 3500 upgrades the 350 in three specific areas. 

First, the Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite replaces the older flight deck, adding graphical flight planning, synthetic vision, and an integrated flight information system. 

Second, the cabin interior is updated with personal angled touchscreens on new side ledges, giving each passenger direct control over entertainment, lighting, and climate. 

Third, range increases by 200 nautical miles to 3,400 nm. 

The cabin dimensions, baggage capacity, and airframe remain the same as the 350.

A super midsize jet trades a midsize jet's lower hourly rate for a larger cabin, longer range, and stronger climb performance. Private jet charter on the Challenger 3500 at $5,000 to $7,000 per hour runs above a midsize jet such as the Citation XLS, but its 3,400-nautical-mile range and 7.2-foot cabin suit long-range and transcontinental trips a midsize jet cannot match.

• More range: 3,400 nm versus roughly 2,100 to 3,000 nm for most midsize jets, sufficient for coast-to-coast US and select transatlantic routing.
• Higher cost: $5,000 to $7,000 per hour versus $3,500 to $5,500 for a midsize jet.
• Same cabin width as the 350: 7.2 feet, the widest in the super midsize class.
• Best mission: long-range and transcontinental trips where the latest avionics and cabin technology matter alongside range.

The Challenger 3500 cabin is identical in dimensions to the Challenger 350, seating eight to nine in a standard executive configuration.

• Personal angled touchscreens on new side ledges give each passenger direct control over entertainment, cabin lighting, and climate settings.
• A fully equipped galley with a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker is standard.
• Handcrafted 180-degree swivel seats offer comfort on longer flights.
• In-flight Wi-Fi and a private lavatory are standard. Confirm exact configuration at booking.

The Challenger 3500 performs best on long-range domestic and transcontinental routes where its updated technology and extended range justify the premium over the Challenger 350.
