Aircraft decision brief

Where the Bombardier Challenger 605 fits

Model overview

About the Bombardier Challenger 605

The Challenger 605 updated the successful 604 with a Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck, revised cabin windows and interior improvements while retaining the wide Challenger cabin and CF34 powerplants. It is commonly configured for ten passengers across multiple cabin zones.

Its blend of cabin volume, baggage capacity and established global support makes it a practical large-jet platform. Production ended in 2016 as the Challenger 650 succeeded it.

Planning lens

Ownership considerations

Review CF34 engine and APU program coverage, landing-gear timing, corrosion status and the position of major calendar inspections. The economics of a 605 can change materially around large maintenance events.

Cabin systems, connectivity and Pro Line 21 software or hardware status vary by serial number. Long-range and charter histories warrant a complete records, damage-history and modification review.
