Bombardier is celebrating the 350th delivery of its beloved and best-selling Challenger 350 business jet. The Canadian business aircraft manufacturer launched the model at EBACE 2013 as an upgraded version of the Challenger 300, with a new wing, more powerful Honeywell HTF7350 engines, larger cabin windows, and a redesigned interior.
The Challenger 350 aircraft is a force in the business jet industry, strengthening its position year after year with enhancements and upgrades to its winning combination of performance and cabin experience.

Among pilots, the Challenger 350 aircraft is recognized as being agile, reliable and a pleasure to fly.
“The 350th delivery of a Challenger 350 aircraft, reached after only six years in service, speaks volumes,” said Peter Likoray, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “This achievement shows the great confidence customers place in this aircraft and demonstrates Bombardier’s production proficiency and strong supplier base.”
