The Bombardier Challenger 350 is a popular private jet to charter, with space for eight or nine passengers in its modern cabin. Equipped with more baseline features than the competition and offering premium enhancements as standard, the Challenger 350 is exceptional in its category.
Interior design
The spacious cabin is designed to deliver class-leading comfort with a flat floor, large windows and angled touch screens. It can be arranged in either a double-club ‘Executive’ layout or a ‘Globetrotter’ layout with two seats swapped out for a three-person divan.
The interior trims and finishes strike a balance between ergonomics and aesthetics. Personal items can be easily accessed in the baggage compartment, while clever fold-out tables are there when you need them and out of the way when you don't.
