Bombardier Challenger 605 Private Jet Charter

About the Bombardier Challenger 605

Specifications win quote spreadsheets; cabin width wins return clients. For two decades the Challenger 600 family has held one quiet record in the heavy class — the widest passenger cabin in the segment — and the 605, introduced in 2006, refined that advantage with modernised cockpit and cabin systems while leaving the airframe's fundamental virtue untouched.

At 2.49 metres across, the Challenger 605 is wider than several aircraft a category above it, including the Falcon 7X. In practice this means double-club seating where passengers face each other across a table without anyone's knees in the aisle, and an aft divan that genuinely lies flat. For the executive moving senior teams across the Atlantic — Paris to New York, London to Boston, Frankfurt to Washington — the difference between this and a narrower heavy is measured in how staff actually arrive, not in brochures.

With 7,408 km of range, the 605 covers the working Atlantic in both directions, deep South America from European departure, and most of the Africa map. Around €9,800 per flight hour positions it as the rational heavy-jet entry point — the price band where width finally stops being a compromise.

Performance Excellence

Fourteen passengers, 7,408 km of range, 928 km/h cruise — and the 2.49-metre cabin width that no twin-engine super-mid or heavy below it matches. Two General Electric CF34-3B engines deliver the thrust behind transatlantic legs while operating from runways shorter than competitors' best charts. Pro Line 21 avionics brought the type into the modern cockpit era without disturbing what pilots already trusted. Service ceilings of FL410 keep the aircraft above most weather. Chartered around €9,800 per hour, the 605 is the heavy whose value argument is geometric: in this class, you pay for cubic metres of cabin you actually use — and few aircraft give you as many.

Cabin Comfort

Bombardier's design brief for the Challenger 605 was conservative — preserve what made the 604 the segment's most demanded heavy, refresh everything else. The cabin width that made the family famous is unchanged: 2.49 metres, with a centre aisle that carries adults walking upright and shoulders that genuinely have room to relax during long sectors.

Up to fourteen passengers sit across a flexible three-zone layout: forward four-club for working sessions, mid four-place dining and conference group, aft three-place divan that converts to a near-lie-flat bed for one. The 605's mid-life refresh added Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and a redesigned cabin management system — proper audio-visual, individual climate, in-flight Wi-Fi — while keeping the fundamentals that made the family quietly dominant. A full-size enclosed lavatory aft, generous in-flight-accessible baggage hold and a galley sized for full hot service complete a cabin that earns its long-haul reputation by feeling unhurried.

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.
