Bombardier Delivers Its 1,000th Business Jet

Bombardier has reached a major milestone with the delivery of its 1000th super mid-size aircraft, a Challenger 3500.

The shiny Bombardier Challenger 3500 was delivered to its client, JM Family Enterprises, during a ceremony at the Challenger delivery center in Montreal. This delivery marks the company’s continued excellence in the business jet sector.

For over two decades, Challenger aircraft have established themselves as the benchmark for super mid-size jets, combining reliability, performance, and technological innovations. The Challenger 3500 continues this tradition with remarkable features, such as a voice-controlled cabin and the Nuage seat, inspired by the long-range Global 7500 model. In 2024, this jet became the most delivered in its category, highlighting its appeal to demanding customers.

Bombardier is committed to a sustainable approach

One of the major advantages of the Challenger 3500 is its value for money in a category where operating costs and performance are key criteria. Although the list price of a Challenger 3500 exceeds 26 million dollars, the actual cost remains a well-kept secret. In the very exclusive world of the Jet Set, no manufacturer will disclose customer prices, as everything is a matter of negotiation, customization, and additional services.

Beyond performance, Bombardier is also focused on sustainability. The Challenger 3500 benefits from a product environmental declaration, an unprecedented approach in business aviation, and is part of a broader strategy to utilize sustainable fuels through the “Book and Claim” system.

With this historic delivery, Bombardier reinforces its role as a leader in the super mid-size jet segment, while affirming its commitment to innovation and the environment. This success reflects the company’s ability to meet the expectations of discerning clients while anticipating future challenges in the aerospace industry.
