Why clients ask for the Challenger 350 by name
The Challenger 350 is Bombardier's best-selling super-midsize jet and the aircraft most charter clients picture when they say they want a bigger jet. It pairs the widest flat-floor cabin in its class with 3,200 nm of range, enough for coast-to-coast US or transatlantic-length missions, and a baggage hold you can reach in flight. It's one of the aircraft we arrange most often through the Stratos Jets network, for a reason: deep availability, a mature support network, and a cabin that comfortably seats 8 to 9 for a full day of work.

Where can it take you nonstop?
Pick your departure city and see the Challenger 350's reach across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Flying from Colorado, most of the country is one leg away.
From Centennial (APA), the Challenger 350 reaches anywhere inside the ring without a fuel stop.
Ring shows a planning range of 2,430 nm: range with four passengers, less a reserve, flown into a 50 kt headwind. Payload, routing and the day's winds decide real-world reach. Your quote confirms nonstop capability for your exact trip.
Is this the right aircraft for your trip?
An honest fit check beats a hard sell. Here is where the Challenger 350 shines, and where we would steer you to a different aircraft instead.
Mission fit: the Challenger 350 at a glance
Gives a larger group a stand-up cabin on medium to long trips, though a full cabin with full bags is worth checking against the route.
Best for
- Denver to either coast nonstop with four aboard, after reserves and headwind
- Teams of up to 8 in typical seating
- A stand-up cabin for working or resting on the way

Mountain airports
Capable. Routine into Eagle. Aspen and Telluride depend on weight, weather and the operator's own approval for the field.
Computed from specifications current as of 2026-09-28. Range lines start from the 3,200 nm four-passenger figure, hold back a reserve and fly into a 50 kt headwind. Winds, weight and the operator's own performance numbers decide any given day. Check your route in the Range Explorer.
Book it for
Coast-to-coast US trips for 6-9 passengers
3,200 nm and the widest cabin in the super-midsize class make this the go-to for a full team that wants heavy-jet comfort at a lower rate.
Transatlantic-length missions
Range comfortably covers many transatlantic-class routings, a genuine step beyond the midsize category.
Groups who want heavy-jet cabin comfort without heavy-jet pricing
The widest flat-floor cabin in its class, with an in-flight-accessible baggage hold most midsize jets don't offer.
Charter bookings where availability matters
The most common super-midsize jet on the market, with a large, mature population of charter aircraft that keeps availability strong.
Skip it for
Groups larger than 9-10
Maximum certified capacity is around 10. Larger groups need a heavy jet.
Short regional hops under 500 nm
The Challenger 350's rate makes it overkill for quick regional trips, a light or midsize jet is more cost-efficient.
The shortest, most remote airstrips
A 4,835 ft takeoff roll is longer than most light jets need, so the tightest backcountry strips are better served by a CJ3+ or CJ4 Gen2.
