Overview

The Bombardier Challenger 350 at a glance

Charter operators pick the 350 for three missions. First, coast-to-coast transcontinental legs (New York to Los Angeles, London to Dubai, Sao Paulo to Miami) with 8 passengers non-stop. Second, cabin comfort: the flat-floor 1.83 m stand-up cabin with double-club plus three-place divan feels closer to a heavy jet than to a midsize. Third, operating economics: fuel burn of 240 gph and a well-established Honeywell HTF7350 engine base mean charter hourly rates below the Falcon 2000LXS or Legacy 500 while covering the same missions. The 3500 is the direct successor, but the 350 remains widely available in the pre-owned market with strong values.
