The Bombardier Challenger 350 is the super midsize benchmark in Palm Beach, and it is the aircraft most often quoted here when a trip needs a stand-up flat-floor cabin and transcontinental range in the same airframe. Eight to ten passengers, 3,200 nautical miles, and enough fleet depth in South Florida that you can usually get one in season.
Bombardier designed the Challenger 350 as a clean-sheet super midsize, with two Honeywell HTF7350 engines and a purpose-built fuselage rather than a stretch of an existing type. The cabin seats eight to ten with a flat floor and full stand-up height, and cruise is around 470 knots. It entered service in 2014 and holds one of the largest charter fleets in its category.

Why the Bombardier Challenger 350 Fits Palm Beach
West Palm Beach to Van Nuys is roughly 2,030 nautical miles and to Aspen about 1,540. Both are nonstop in a Challenger 350 with a full cabin. For Palm Beach clients who spend winter here and summer in Colorado or California, one aircraft type covers the whole seasonal pattern.
Fleet depth is why it works in a Palm Beach February. Art Basel week, the Wellington equestrian season and the school holidays all pull aircraft into South Florida at once, and the Challenger 350 is the super midsize we can most often source inside a day when a Longitude or a Challenger 3500 is already committed.
The flat floor and ten seats also suit the large-group island trips this market produces. Nassau at about 170 nautical miles and Providenciales at about 520 are short legs for the aircraft, but a party of nine with dive bags and golf clubs is a cabin-and-hold problem, and the Challenger 350 solves it in one aircraft.

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
