Challenger 605 — Bombardier

Bombardier · Heavy jet

Challenger 605

The widest cabin in its class, on the best-selling large-cabin platform in business aviation.

Trans-Tasman and Australia–Asia sectors for up to twelve, in the class's widest cabin.

The Challenger 605 is the value benchmark of the large-cabin class. Its 8-foot-2 cross-section — the widest of any traditional heavy jet — sits on the Challenger 600-series platform, more than 1,600 aircraft strong, refined here with larger cabin windows and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics over the 604 it succeeded.

For Australian flying it is a known quantity in the most literal sense: the type and its 604 sibling anchor charter and aeromedical fleets across the country, trusted for exactly the qualities charter clients feel — a wide, quiet cabin, honest 4,000-nautical-mile legs, and watch-like reliability.

At a 41,000 ft cruise the cabin feels like 6,600 ft. An 8.8 psi differential holds the cabin at sea level up to 24,000 ft, and below 8,000 ft — about 6,600 ft at full differential — at the 41,000 ft ceiling. Figures interpolated between certified points.

Frequently asked

Can a Challenger 605 fly Sydney to Singapore non-stop?

Yes — roughly 3,400 nautical miles in about seven hours forty-five minutes, comfortably inside the 605's 4,000-nautical-mile range. Sydney–Perth, the Tasman and Melbourne–Bali are all well within reach.

How many passengers does the Challenger 605 carry?

Ten to twelve in typical executive arrangements — a forward club four and an aft conference group, often with a berthing divan — and the cabin sleeps around five on overnight sectors. At 8 ft 2 in across with a flat floor, it is the widest cabin in its class.

How much does a Challenger 605 cost to charter?

Each journey is priced individually against the aircraft's positioning and your dates — never from a tariff. Large-cabin comfort at a considered figure is precisely the 605's reputation; send the trip and we will quote it firmly within the hour.

What is the difference between a Challenger 604 and 605?

The same trusted airframe — the 605 added larger, higher-set cabin windows, a refreshed interior and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. In the cabin the experience is close; we propose whichever airframe suits the mission and dates best.
