Overview

What is the Bombardier Challenger 350?

The Bombardier Challenger 350 is a super midsize business jet that seats 8 to 10 passengers and flies about 3,200 nm non-stop. It replaced the Challenger 300 in 2014 and more than 350 had been delivered by mid 2020, so it is one of the easiest super midsize jets to find for charter.

8 to 10 seats, most often in two four-seat clubs, in a cabin 7 ft 2 in (2.19 m) wide with a flat floor.

3,200 nm of range with 8 passengers at Mach 0.80: New York to London is possible non-stop on a good day.

106 cu ft baggage hold that you can reach during the flight.

Short-field and steep approach capability: Bombardier lists Aspen, London City, Lugano and Santa Monica among the airports it can use.

3 fly on Indian charter permits with 3 operators, based in Mumbai and New Delhi, in cabins for 9 to 10 passengers. Altivo Jets books them through these licensed operators.

Fuel burn and CO2

The Challenger 350 burns about 297 US gallons (899 kg) of jet fuel an hour, which puts out about 2.8 tonnes of CO2. Sustainable aviation fuel, where the departure airport has it, cuts the lifecycle figure.

Interior

Challenger 350 interior and cabin layout

Most charter Challenger 350s seat 8 or 9 in two club areas, with a belted seat in the lavatory as an extra place. Every aircraft is fitted out by its owner, so we confirm the exact seat map, beds and Wi-Fi with each quote. The layouts below come from specification sheets of aircraft offered for sale.

Price

How much does a Challenger 350 cost?

A new Challenger 350 listed at about ₹256 crore ($26.7 million) in 2020. Production has ended, so most buyers look at pre-owned aircraft. Owning one also means paying to fly and maintain it, which is why most people who fly a few times a year charter instead.

Challenger 350 price in India

At ₹96 to the dollar (12 October 2026), a pre-owned Challenger 350 costs about ₹125 crore to ₹173 crore, before import taxes, registration and fit-out. 3 are already on India's charter list, so you can fly one for a fraction of that from ₹5L to ₹6.5L per hour.

Charter cost

Challenger 350 charter cost per hour in India (2026)

You pay for flight time, not the aircraft. Super-midsize jets like the Challenger 350 charter at about ₹5L to ₹6.5L per flight hour; the quote adds positioning, crew overnights, airport charges and taxes for your exact trip.

What moves the price

  • Positioning: one-way trips usually pay for the empty flight home.
  • Crew overnights and waiting days on multi-day trips.
  • Airport, parking and handling charges, plus GST.
  • Empty legs can cut the price sharply when one matches your dates.

Charter or own?

Owning a Challenger 350 costs about ₹7.4 crore a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about ₹5 lakh for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.

Safety

Challenger 350 safety record

Events from official investigations and safety databases. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.

January 2017

A Challenger 350 (9H-VCJ) had a spoiler fault on approach to Dublin and the crew struggled to control roll. They flew faster and landed safely with no injuries. Ireland's AAIU found that a spoiler on the right wing had deployed by itself, most likely from a wiring fault, and stayed partly open.

March 2023

A Challenger 300 (N300ER) pitched up sharply in the climb over Connecticut. A passenger who was not wearing a seat belt was killed and the aircraft landed safely at Windsor Locks. The NTSB blamed the crew: a pitot cover left on, departing with a no-go fault after an aborted take-off, and the wrong checklist in flight.

December 2024

A Challenger 300 (LV-GOK) ran off the runway on landing at San Fernando, Buenos Aires, and stopped outside the airport. Both pilots died. Argentina's JST investigation was still open in its published basic report.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still deciding? A charter specialist will talk you through aircraft, airports and price, with no obligation.

Ask a specialist
How much does a Bombardier Challenger 350 cost?+

A new Challenger 350 was listed at about $26.7 million. Pre-owned aircraft were offered at about $13 million to $18 million in mid 2026, depending on age, hours and engine programmes. Running one costs about $769,000 a year in fixed costs plus about $5,200 per flight hour.

How many passengers does a Challenger 350 seat?+

Up to 10. Most aircraft seat 8 or 9 in two club areas, and the belted lavatory seat can count as one more place. We confirm the seat map of your aircraft with the quote. Challenger 350s on India's charter list are fitted for 9 or 10.

How far can a Challenger 350 fly?+

About 3,200 nm with 8 passengers at Mach 0.80 and NBAA reserves. That covers coast to coast in the US, and New York to London non-stop on a good day.

What is the difference between the Challenger 350 and the Challenger 3500?+

They share the same airframe, engines and range. The 3500 has a cabin altitude about 2,000 ft lower, Nuage seats, a voice-controlled cabin and autothrottle as standard. It replaced the 350 in 2022.

How fast is the Challenger 350?+

It cruises at up to 470 kts (Mach 0.82) and at Mach 0.80 on long flights, and it can fly as high as 45,000 ft.

Is the Challenger 350 still in production?+

No. Bombardier built it from 2014 to 2022 and replaced it with the Challenger 3500, which uses the same airframe. Many 350s fly for charter and fractional fleets.

Can you sleep on a Challenger 350?+

Yes, on some aircraft. Bombardier offers a three-place divan and seats that make up into beds, and charter operators quote up to 3 people sleeping. The cabin is 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall, so most adults can stand or nearly stand.

Who operates the Bombardier Challenger 350 in India?+

3 companies hold Challenger 350-family jets on India's DGCA charter list: India Flysafe Aviation (1), Mahindra Airways (1) and Sapphire Airlines (1). Altivo Jets can request any of them for your trip.

How much does it cost to charter a Challenger 350 in India?+

About ₹5L to ₹6.5L per flight hour, before GST, positioning and airport charges. A one-way trip is priced on flight hours plus the aircraft's return positioning, so ask for a quote on your dates.

What is the Challenger 350 price in India?+

About ₹125 crore to ₹173 crore for a pre-owned aircraft at ₹96 to the dollar, before import taxes and registration.
