Bombardier has announced a few optional and standard upgrades in the cabin of its super-midsize Challenger 350 that will be available later this year. Soon to be standard on new Challenger 350s is an upgraded Lufthansa Technik nice cabin management system (CMS) interface that Bombardier said takes its cues from the Global 7500.

 


The Challenger 350's redesigned side-ledge mounted CMS controllers include touchscreens and moving maps for passengers to stay informed of flight progress. A new platform-specific app will also be offered with the upgraded CMS.

 


Available for the first time on the super-midsize twin is Viasat Ka-band connectivity. The Viasat system joins other connectivity options, including Gogo Business Aviation 4G ATG, and will be available on new and in-service Challenger 350s as well as in-service Challenger 300s.

 


Also new and optional for the Challenger 350 are expanded cabin design options available through a collection of contemporary interior design schemes that Bombardier said strike a balance between aesthetics and ergonomics. The new standard and optional features will be available beginning later this year, according to Bombardier.
