Since its acquisition of Canadair in 1986, Bombardier has long been a leader in the aviation industry. The original design of the Challenger was a massive success, and Bombardier have stuck to the age-old principle that "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it". Instead, what the multinational aerospace company did, was update and modify the existing design to create a new yet familiar model. The Challenger 604 was the “best-selling model in the heavy-iron category”. Its successor, the Bombardier Challenger 605, upgraded all aspects of cabin comfort, improved the interface for the pilot, and could carry an additional 200 lbs thanks to improved weight distribution. It became the best-selling model in the midsize category of business jets. Naturally, the unveiling of the Challenger 650 was also met with excitement.

Picture Source The US leads the market in business aviation, and Bombardier leads the business sector with many customs driven via the US, so it is no surprise that the Challenger 650 is set to redefine luxury business travel once more. As has been the case with the Challenger series to date, Bombardier has once again stuck to the tried and tested model and created additional benefits around it. They have listened carefully to their customers’ desires and delivered a product that will satisfy them. The Challenger 650 was revealed at the recent National Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (NBAA) in Florida. Showcasing the appeal of the line was Hollywood A-lister John Travolta, who himself owns a Challenger and has a private pilot’s license. Travolta gave a speech declaring the Challenger 650 to be a superior upgrade to its predecessor and “everything that an airplane should be” alongside a mock-up of the model. “I had the privilege to be part of the team that helped develop this aircraft here,” Travolta declared at the talk. “I can’t wait for you to see it. I think it reflects everything that an airplane should be today. The seats are bigger and the galley is better suited for servicing passengers. The engines have more thrust. The performance is better.” Travolta is not the only advocate of the new aircraft. NetJets, the first-ever private jet charter company, has already placed an order for 25 models with a view to an additional 50, which will take the total number of Challenger aircraft over the 1,000 model mark. Clearly, the quality of the Challenger series and their ability to deliver time and time again has proved an alluring prospect to investors. “The proven reliability of the Challenger 605 series played a significant role in our decision to order Challenger 650 aircraft,” Suma claimed. “This new aircraft, with its enhanced performance capabilities, cutting-edge interior design and the lowest direct operating costs in its class, will be a great addition to our fleet.
