NetJets currently operates a combined total of 100 Challenger 350 and Challenger 650 aircraft in its fleet. These best-selling aircraft have the lowest direct operating costs in their respective categories due to affordable maintenance programs and longer maintenance intervals than the competition.

Recently recognized by Robb Report Magazine as the Best of the Best super mid-size aircraft for the second consecutive year, the Challenger 350 business jet builds upon the remarkable legacy of leadership of the Challenger 300 series of aircraft. With a true seats full, tanks full, 3,200 nautical mile range and steep approach certification, the Challenger 350 business jet can connect Aspen to New York non-stop. The enhanced short-field performance ability of the Challenger 350 aircraft also allows for access to challenging airfields such as Santa Monica airport.

A masterful expression of high-end craftsmanship and functionality, the Challenger 650 aircraft is designed to be the most reliable business aircraft. The Challenger 650 business jet provides the ultimate in-flight experience with industry-leading connectivity, an immersive sound system, and a cabin management system that effortlessly brings it all together in the widest in-class cabin.

Given their class-leading economics and dependable performance in operation, it’s no wonder the Challenger 350 and Challenger 650 business jets are highly favoured by experienced flight departments such as NetJets.
