Bombardier Reaches 1,000th Mark for Challenger 300/350/3500 Family
Milestone aircraft was handed over to JM Family Enterprises
Bombardier Challenger 3500
Entering service in September 2022, Bombardier's Challenger 3500 became the fastest super midsize model to reach 100 deliveries last October, as the entire super-midsize 300/350/3500 continued on a path to the 1,000th milestone celebrated in Montreal.

Bombardier today celebrated the 1,000th delivery of its super-midsize business jet line portfolio with the handing over of a Challenger 3500 to JM Family Enterprises. More than 700 of the company’s employees and other invitees gathered at Bombardier’s Challenger delivery center in Montreal for the ceremonial delivery.

The milestone comes a little more than 20 years after the original member of the Challenger 3500 family—the Challenger 300—entered service with fractional ownership provider Flexjet in January 2024. Initially named the Continental, the Challenger 300 forged a new path for Bombardier in the aircraft segment, becoming the most-delivered super-midsize aircraft. Sporting a pair of 6,826-pound-thrust Honeywell HTF7000 turbofans, the Challenger 300 could fly 3,100 nm.
