Challenger 604 For Sale
The Bombardier Challenger 604 is a wide body, long range business jet that entered service in 1996 as a successor to the Challenger 601. With a range of 4,000 nautical miles, it can fly nonstop between most major city pairs across the Atlantic, making it a practical choice for operators connecting the United States, United Kingdom, and continental Europe.
The aircraft is powered by two General Electric CF34-3B engines, each producing 9,220 pounds of thrust. It typically seats between 10 and 19 passengers depending on interior configuration, with a stand up cabin height of 6 feet 1 inch and a cabin width of 8 feet 2 inches, making it one of the widest cabins in the super midsize to large cabin category.
Performance and Specifications
The Challenger 604 cruises at Mach 0.80 with a high speed cruise of Mach 0.82. The aircraft features a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite on earlier models, with many examples upgraded to Pro Line 21. Its wide fuselage, derived from the Canadair Regional Jet platform, provides a cabin volume that exceeds many competitors including the Gulfstream GIV-SP and Dassault Falcon 900. The 604 was succeeded by the Challenger 605 in 2007 and later the Challenger 650.
Over 300 Challenger 604 aircraft were delivered during its production run, and the type has a proven track record in corporate, charter, and government service worldwide. The wide cabin makes it particularly popular for long haul routes where passenger comfort is a priority.
