A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the super-midsize jet class.
BOMBARDIER
The Bombardier Challenger 300 created the super-midsize segment — stand-up flat-floor cabin, 3,065 nm range and transcontinental US capability at a midsize hourly rate. Over 450 delivered.

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.

|---|---|---|---|
| London → Dubai | 2,950 nm | Challenger 350 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (2950 nm > 3,065 nm). |
| Teterboro → Los Angeles | 2,150 nm | Either | Both aircraft fly this comfortably non-stop — choose on cabin and price. |
| London → New York | 3,000 nm | Challenger 350 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (3000 nm > 3,065 nm). |
