Bombardier Challenger 850: Luxury and Reliability for Premium Business Aviation

The Bombardier Challenger 850 is an unrivaled leader among business jets in its category, combining the spacious cabin of a regional aircraft with the outstanding flight performance of a long-range airliner. Built on the platform of the time-tested CRJ200, this aircraft offers a unique combination of comfort, reliability, and economic efficiency for the most demanding clients.

Unparalleled Comfort and Functionality

The Challenger 850 stands out among competitors with its exceptionally spacious cabin divided into three separate zones. With an overall length of 14.76 meters and a width of 2.49 meters, this business jet offers up to 15 passenger seats in various configurations. The cabin height is 1.85 meters, ensuring comfortable full-height movement.

Ergonomic leather seats transform into comfortable sleeping areas, allowing passengers to rest fully during long flights. Modern entertainment systems, high-speed internet, and satellite communications ensure business continuity at a cruising altitude of up to 12,500 meters.

Challenger 850ER Modification — Extended Capabilities

The Bombardier Challenger 850ER (Extended Range) is an advanced version of the base Challenger 850, developed to meet the needs of clients requiring increased flight range. This modification represents a significant technological breakthrough, maintaining all the advantages of the base model while adding expanded capabilities.
