A Bombardier vs Embraer showdown in the super-midsize jet class. The Bombardier Challenger 350 carries 10 passengers with 3,200 nm of range; the Embraer Praetor 600 carries 8–9 with 4,018 nm. Cabin dimensions land at 6'1" × 7'2" versus 6'0" × 6'10", and runway numbers read 4,835 ft against 4,717 ft. Both sit in the same pricing class: an estimated €3,600–€4,800 per flight hour.
BOMBARDIER
The Bombardier Challenger 350 is the most-delivered super-midsize jet in history — and the aircraft most professional charter buyers benchmark against. With a flat-floor stand-up cabin, transcontinental range and full transatlantic capability on select routes, it bridges the gap between midsize comfort and heavy-jet capability.

The Embraer Praetor 600 redefined the super-midsize category — the first aircraft in its class with genuine transatlantic range (4,018 nm), full fly-by-wire controls and a 5,800 ft cabin altitude at 45,000 ft. The Bossa Nova interior is widely considered the most beautifully appointed cabin in segment.
FULL EMBRAER PRAETOR 600 PAGE →Compare the published range of 3,200 nm for the Bombardier Challenger 350 with 4,018 nm for the Embraer Praetor 600, but do not treat either as a guaranteed nonstop distance. Request the operator's payload and routing check with your departure airport, passengers and bags. A fuel stop, airport restriction or positioning flight can change which aircraft is the better charter.
Our records list cabin height and width of 6'1" × 7'2" for the Bombardier Challenger 350, compared with 6'0" × 6'10" for the Embraer Praetor 600. Published baggage figures are 106 cu ft and 155 cu ft. Ask for photos and the seating plan of the aircraft actually offered: a model's passenger capacity does not confirm your preferred beds, table layout or space for oversized luggage.
Both aircraft use the same pricing-engine class band: €3,600–€4,800 per flight hour, estimated. That is not evidence that both quotes will cost the same. Compare total trip prices including positioning, flight time, handling and any fuel stop, then check what the confirmed offer includes.

EXPERT VERDICT
The Challenger 350 pulls ahead on cabin comfort and group capacity; the Praetor 600 answers with range / non-stop reach and airport access. Both sit in the super-midsize jet class, so charter pricing is broadly aligned — let the use case (range, group size, airport pair) drive the final call.
Range / non-stop reach
Praetor 600
4,018 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.
Cabin comfort
Challenger 350
Taller and/or wider cabin (6'1" × 7'2") — better for long flights and stand-up movement.
Group capacity
Challenger 350
Seats up to 10 — the right pick when the manifest grows.
Airport access
Praetor 600
Shorter 4,717 ft balanced-field requirement — opens up restricted alpine, island and city-adjacent airfields.

| ROUTE | DISTANCE | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → Dubai | 2,950 nm | Praetor 600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |

FAQ
The Bombardier Challenger 350 has a published range of 3,200 nm; the Embraer Praetor 600 is rated at 4,018 nm. The longer-range aircraft opens up more non-stop city pairs without a tech stop.
Cruise speeds are Mach 0.83 for the Bombardier Challenger 350 and Mach 0.83 for the Embraer Praetor 600. The difference in block time grows with trip length; on a London → Dubai trip it is usually minutes rather than hours.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 seats 10; the Embraer Praetor 600 seats 8–9. Charter prices below assume a typical executive layout — high-density configurations are available on request.
From our pricing engine's class rates: the Bombardier Challenger 350 at an estimated €3,600–€4,800 per flight hour, and the Embraer Praetor 600 at an estimated €3,600–€4,800 per flight hour. These are estimates; the confirmed quote within 1–2 hours depends on positioning, season and airport fees.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 cabin is 6'1" high and 7'2" wide; the Embraer Praetor 600 is 6'0" high and 6'10" wide. Baggage: 106 cu ft vs 155 cu ft.
For trips within the Bombardier Challenger 350's published 3,200 nm, either aircraft can fly non-stop and the choice comes down to cabin (6'1" vs 6'0" cabin height), seats (10 vs 8–9) and price. Beyond that, the Embraer Praetor 600 (4,018 nm) flies non-stop where the Bombardier Challenger 350 may need a fuel stop. Real-world range drops with passengers, bags, winds and winter reserves, so we confirm it per trip.
Both belong to the Super-Midsize Jet category, but range, payload and runway performance differ. See the route-recommendations table on this page for our specific pick per corridor.
Cabin comfort is the everyday difference passengers feel most. Both the Bombardier Challenger 350 and Embraer Praetor 600 sit in the Super-Midsize Jet class, so cabin height, width and layout differ subtly — on flights over 3 hours those details matter more than raw range. Ask us for a side-by-side floorplan.
Both aircraft in this comparison are operated under ARG/US, Wyvern or IS-BAO safety programmes when chartered through Limitless Sky. Safety is driven by operator, crew currency and maintenance regime — not the airframe. We only book operators meeting our verified due-diligence checklist.
The hourly class rate is only one input. Total mission cost includes positioning legs, overnight fees, landing/handling, catering, de-icing and FET where applicable. Our confirmed quote itemises every line so there are no surprises.
