In September 2021, Bombardier announced the introduction of the latest variant of its very popular super-midsize Challenger 300 series. The new improved variant marketed under the Challenger 3500 designation has replaced the 2014 Challenger 350 variant and features a new state-of-the-art redesigned cabin inspired from the Global 7500, Bombardier’s Ultra-Long Range flagship jet.
Long-time Bombardier customer Les Goldberg, Chairman, and CEO of Entertainment Technology Partners, will take ownership of the aircraft later this year. The newly delivered Challenger 3500 will be on static display in Orlando, Florida from October 18-20 during NBAA-BACE 2022.
Italian-based operator, Air Corporate SRL, will be the first company to offer the aircraft for charter in Europe.
The Challenger 3500 aircraft Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides detailed information about the aircraft’s life cycle environmental footprint, confirming the strict adherence of the super-midsize jet design with Bombardier’s environmental objectives.
The Red Dot Award is one of the most prestigious design awards worldwide and honours innovation, concepts, and visions. This year’s winners will be celebrated during an award ceremony on June 20 in Essen, Germany and featured in the Red Dot Design Yearbook.
