Bombardier Challenger 605
The Challenger 605 updated the 604 with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck, larger windows and a refreshed interior while keeping the reliable CF34-3B engines. Nearly 290 were delivered between 2007 and 2015, and it remains one of the most cost-effective ways into a stand-up, wide-body cabin with 4,000 nm of range.
In short: The Bombardier Challenger 605 is a Large Jet with a range of 4,000 nm, a cruise speed of 470 knots and room for 10 passengers. Pre-owned examples trade around $9M–$16M and costs roughly $3,900 an hour to operate (estimate).
