A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the super-midsize jet class.
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 6,000-foot cabin altitude. The Bossa Nova interior is widely considered the most beautifully appointed cabin in segment.

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 (6'0" × 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. |
| Teterboro → Los Angeles | 2,150 nm | Praetor 600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| London → New York | 3,000 nm | Praetor 600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Geneva → Riyadh | 2,450 nm | Praetor 600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
