MONTREAL - Bombardier announced on October 19 that it is developing the new Challenger 650 business jet to replace the Challenger 605 in partnership with NetJets. The manufacturer made the announcement during the National Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (NBAA) in Orlando, Florida during a special unveiling event.
On June 11, 2012, NetJets placed a firm order for 25 Challenger 650 jets, formerly referred to as the Challenger 605 NG, with options for 50 additional aircraft. The Signature Series brand of the Challenger 650 aircraft has been designed with unique features such as customized cabinetry, seating, next-generation In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) and lighting. Deliveries of the aircraft are scheduled to begin in 2015.
The Challenger 650 aircraft’s enhanced GE engines offer greater thrust, shorter take-off distance, extra payload capacity and greater range capabilities out of challenging airports. With a true 4,000 nm (7,408 km) range capability, the Challenger 650 jet will connect London to New York, Dubai to London and Sao Paulo to Miami non-stop. The aircraft also features a redesigned cabin.
