Aircraft decision brief
Where the Bombardier Challenger 870 fits
Model overview
About the Bombardier Challenger 870
The Challenger 870 applies a corporate-shuttle completion to the CRJ700 platform. Its long cabin and airline-scale baggage capacity support nineteen or more passengers depending on the individual layout, making it a specialized solution for company, government or team movements.
Only a very small number entered corporate service, with deliveries spanning 2006 through 2015. Each aircraft should therefore be treated as a completion-specific asset rather than a standardized fleet type.

Ownership considerations
The small fleet makes configuration, parts planning and technical representation especially important. Review CF34 engine coverage, heavy-check and landing-gear status, completion documentation and the availability of qualified maintenance support.
Airport compatibility, hangar space, crew requirements, handling and route economics should be modeled as regional-jet operations. Interior alterations can be complex because certification and installed systems differ by airframe.
Category context
How it compares
The Challenger 870 carries more passengers than a Challenger 850 but is an even more specialized corporate-shuttle asset. It should be compared with converted regional jets and small bizliners, with liquidity and completion support given substantial weight.
