Bombardier Challenger 350
The Challenger 350 was the best-selling super-midsize jet of the 2010s, adding canted winglets, more powerful HTF7350 engines and a redesigned cabin to the Challenger 300 formula. Roughly 400 were built before the 3500 took over, and its 3,200 nm range and flat-floor cabin keep it in strong demand on the pre-owned market.
In short: The Bombardier Challenger 350 is a Super-Midsize Jet with a range of 3,200 nm, a cruise speed of 470 knots and room for 9 passengers. Pre-owned examples trade around $13M–$22M and costs roughly $3,200 an hour to operate (estimate).

The second-hand jet market explained for the curious
Used business jets trade less like cars and more like small companies: records, engines, tax timing, maintenance slots and reputation all shape the price. In 2026, supply is still tight, but buyers are choosier than the headline numbers suggest.
What a jet card really costs versus charter
Jet cards buy price certainty, not automatic savings. The real comparison with on-demand charter turns on minimums, peak days, repositioning, taxes, aircraft category and the cost of tying up cash.
The Economics of Empty Legs, From the Operator’s Side
Empty legs look like bargains from the cabin door, but for operators they are a short-lived inventory problem shaped by owner approvals, crew limits, regulation, and marginal cost. The best sale is not always the highest discount; it is the booking that moves the aircraft without breaking the next revenue trip.
