Bombardier Challenger 300 Overview
The Bombardier Challenger 300 is a super mid jet manufactured by Bombardier Aviation, produced from 2004-2014. Classified as a mid-cabin aircraft, the Bombardier Challenger 300 carries up to 10 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 470 knots with a range of 3,100 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for transcontinental and international missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 104 active Bombardier Challenger 300 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Honeywell HTF7000, each producing 6,826 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 470 knots (Mach 0.83), with a long-range cruise of 430 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 45,000 feet puts the Bombardier Challenger 300 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 4,810 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 3,100 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Bombardier Challenger 300 handles coast-to-coast domestic flights and select Caribbean or Central American destinations. Typical hourly operating costs range from $3,500-$5,000 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Bombardier Challenger 300 cabin measures 25.2 ft long, 7.2 ft wide, and 6.1 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 10 passengers, with 106 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Evolution & Market Position
The 350 offers improved range of 3,200 NM and canted winglets. For those considering acquisition or evaluating options to sell, understanding the transition between variants is essential for informed decision-making. Well-maintained Bombardier Challenger 300 aircraft remain sought after in the pre-owned market, with strong demand from both private owners and charter operators.
