"The Challenger 3500 jet continues to impress with its ultimate combination of refined cabin experience, proven reliability, and top performance, perfectly aligning with the needs of NetJets' discerning client base," said Éric Martel, President & CEO of Bombardier. "We couldn't be prouder to see the Challenger 3500 business jet join the NetJets' fleet as we write the next chapter of our long-term collaboration."

Built on the iconic super midsize platform, the Challenger 3500 jet continues to push the industry forward, setting the course for what private jet travel should be. The aircraft offers an unmatched in-flight experience that exceeds the expectations of the most discerning travelers. It has a flawless design that provides an unparalleled cabin experience and elevates passengers' comfort with Bombardier's revolutionary Nuage seats and cutting-edge cabin technology. The cabin experience is also enhanced by several industry-first features including voice-control, unmatched 4K entertainment, first in-class wireless chargers and true bring-your-own device cabin philosophy, making it the smartest aircraft in its class.

The Challenger aircraft family is also well known for its industry-leading reliability and safety.

It also offers an impressive range of 3,400 nautical miles and, outstanding runway performance, and steep-approach capabilities. It provides customers with the ultimate package, including access to the most remote locations, while delivering Bombardier's signature smooth ride from takeoff to landing. 

In terms of sustainability, the Challenger 3500 aircraft is in a class by itself. It is the first business jet in the super-midsize segment to have an Environmental Product Declaration published, documenting the aircraft's environmental footprint over its lifecycle. This impressive business jet provides customers with the ultimate combination of sustainability, performance, and reliability that they can count on 365 days a year.
