Bombardier Challenger 604 Private Jet Charter

About the Bombardier Challenger 604

Where the original Challenger 600 proved the wide-cabin idea, the 604 made it work as a business. Bombardier launched it in 1996 with the General Electric CF34-3B turbofans the airframe had been waiting for, a glass cockpit, and — most importantly — fuel: range jumped to 7,408 km, enough to cross the Atlantic non-stop. Suddenly the Challenger cabin could go where it had always wanted to. It carries 10 passengers (up to 12) at 998 km/h, and around 85 examples now serve European charter. That is by far the largest Challenger fleet on the continent, and most of the heavy-jet bookings a European broker quotes will land on a 604.

Performance Excellence

Two crew operate the 604 across 7,408 km / 4,000 nm at up to 998 km/h (539 ktas) on GE CF34-3B power. Around 85 examples serve European charter at roughly €9,500 per hour — by some margin the largest heavy-jet fleet in the region. Its specification is competitive; its operational density is what really matters: pick any major European airport and a 604 is almost certainly an hour's reposition away.

Cabin Comfort

The 604 keeps the cabin that started the Challenger story — 8.66 m long, 2.49 m wide, 1.85 m tall — and gives it the range to use itself. Ten passengers settle into a forward four-place club, a mid four-place conference and an aft divan, with a galley and lavatory in proper proportion. The width is what matters: across the shoulders, the 604 has more than any heavy jet in its price bracket, the legacy of the wide tube Bill Lear sketched and Canadair built. Twenty-five years on, that cabin still feels right because it was a generation ahead when it arrived.

High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
