Bombardier Business Aircraft’s large-cabin Challenger 650 received Transport Canada certification, the Canadian aircraft manufacturer announced today. Customer deliveries are expected to start by year-end, about six months later than originally planned when the latest version of the 600-series Challenger was launched at the NBAA Convention last year. The aircraft will make its North American debut next week at NBAA 2015 in Las Vegas; this follows its world debut at EBACE in May.
