Manufacturer-published figures for a typical configuration. Individual aircraft vary with model year, interior fit and optional equipment, and runway requirements move considerably with altitude, temperature and weight — the operator's own performance data governs every trip.
Our read
What it does well, and what it costs you.
What it does well
- Transcontinental nonstop with a full cabin
- Flat-floor stand-up cabin with a proper galley
- Very large charter fleet across North America and Europe
The trade-off
Needs roughly 4,800 ft of runway, which rules out some mountain fields.
We publish the downside because you would find it anyway, and because we do not own this aircraft — there is no reason for us to oversell it.

Runway
Where it can land.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 needs about 4,835 ft at sea level, which clears 1,726 of the 2,746 US fields we publish. Thin air needs more of it — roughly 3% per 1,000 ft of elevation — so the demanding fields below are worked out at their own altitude, not at sea level.

Indicative, and not a performance calculation. Real balanced field length depends on temperature, weight, runway slope and the day — and it is the operator who signs for it. Treat this as the question to ask, not the answer.
Questions
Bombardier Challenger 350, answered
How many passengers does the Bombardier Challenger 350 carry?
Typically 8–9 in a charter configuration. Exact seating varies by operator, since interiors differ between individual aircraft — we confirm the layout of the specific tail before you accept a quote.
What is the range of the Bombardier Challenger 350?
Published range is about 3,200 nautical miles at 470 knots. Real-world range is lower with a full cabin, strong headwinds or hot-and-high departures, which is exactly the kind of thing we check before proposing it for your trip.
What runway does the Bombardier Challenger 350 need?
Around 4,835 ft at sea level on a standard day near maximum weight. Altitude, temperature and weight change this significantly — the operator's performance data is what governs whether it can use your airport.
How much does it cost to charter a Bombardier Challenger 350?
We publish an indicative market range for this cabin class ($5,000–$8,500 per hour) so you can size the trip, not a firm rate for this aircraft — the real number depends on where the aircraft is positioned, the season and the airports, which is why we source your specific trip. Altessair adds a disclosed brokerage fee to the operator's price, shown as a separate line on every quote.
