Challenger 850

The Bombardier Challenger 850 offers a maximum range of about 5,206 km (2,811 nautical miles). This figure reflects a typical load; the real passenger count, baggage and wind conditions reduce effective range. Like any aircraft in its segment (large cabin), it reaches that range at a high cruise speed, which determines the city pairs it can link directly. In practice, an aircraft of this segment places long European and transcontinental legs such as Nice–Dubai within non-stop reach, subject to payload and weather on the day.

The cabin seats up to 16 passengers in maximum configuration. With 12.42 m of cabin length and 1.85 m of height, the real layout often favours space and comfort over seat count. Most charter configurations slightly reduce capacity to gain living zones, a lounge or a night area depending on the segment. Beyond seat count, the standing room, galley and baggage hold shape the real experience: a large cabin typically offers a full galley, a private lavatory and often berthable seating or a dedicated rest area for the route.

As a guide, chartering an aircraft in this segment (large cabin) runs around €9,400 per hour all-in, excluding variable landing fees by destination. The real rate depends on the specific aircraft, availability, season and empty repositioning distance. A quote request returns a firm all-in price within sixty minutes. The figure is for the whole aircraft, not per seat, and includes crew, fuel and standard handling; an empty-leg repositioning flight in the same category can cut it sharply when the dates align. A two-hour minimum applies.

The Bombardier Challenger 850 is no longer produced, but remains actively operated on charter. Aircraft offered for charter are operated by ARGUS Gold or Wyvern Wingman certified carriers, a guarantee of high safety and maintenance standards whatever the aircraft's age. Availability varies by region and season, so the specific tail offered may differ in age, cabin and configuration; our advisors confirm the exact aircraft, its photos and amenities with every firm quote. To charter it, a single request returns the available aircraft, their operators and a firm all-in price, which you can compare before committing.
