Bombardier's best-selling Challenger 350
business jet continues to dominate the super midsize segment and the Medium
aircraft category according to the 2017 Annual Shipment and Billings report
published by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA).
Bombardier delivered 56 Challenger 350
aircraft in 2017, capturing 53 percent of the super midsize segment.
"Thanks to their exceptional cabin comfort,
connectivity, reliable performance and ultra-smooth ride, our Challenger 350
business jets continue to lead the market in unit sales and have earned their
place as the leading choice among experienced flight departments and charter
operators," said Peter Likoray,
Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "The
result extends a remarkable record for our Challenger 350 aircraft program,
which has tallied more deliveries in the last decade than any other business jet
platform."
The Challenger 350 aircraft, which entered
service in 2014, has maintained a brisk pace of deliveries in its first years of
production, surpassing the 200-delivery mark in 2017.
Exceptional ride quality is an important
component of the aircraft's success, and the Challenger 350 business jet
features a smooth and quiet ride that elevates its widely-praised cabin
experience to the next level. The aircraft's optimally-balanced wing, engine and
landing gear were designed to provide an exceptionally smooth ride, from takeoff
to landing. At the same time, its cabin is optimized with state-of-the-art
acoustical insulation that delivers sound levels that are among the lowest in
the super midsize segment.
Designed with a no-compromise approach, the
aircraft effortlessly blends powerful performance and sleek styling to deliver
an unrivalled private jet experience. Industry-leading connectivity, immersive
sound and ergonomically-positioned touch screens are seamlessly integrated to
create an intuitive and incomparable cabin experience. Paired with impressive
high-performance attributes, the Challenger 350 aircraft is designed to access
challenging airfields, climb faster, and cruise efficiently while providing a
smooth ride. Standing the test of time, the Challenger 300 aircraft series is
the best-selling business jet platform of the last decade.
