The star of this milestone is a Challenger 3500, delivered to long-time customer JM Family Enterprises during a special ceremony at the Bombardier delivery center in Montréal.
Since the debut of the first model, the jets in the Challenger range have redefined industry standards, setting the benchmark for reliability, performance and comfort.

In addition to offering high-level performance and operating costs among the most competitive in the industry, the Challenger 3500 stands out for its innovative design and technologically advanced cab. Exclusive features include the cabin voice control system and the award-winning Nuage seat, inspired by the ultra-long-range Bombardier Global 7500.
Bombardier's commitment to sustainability is evidenced by the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which certifies the environmental impact of the entire production fleet. In addition, the company uses Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for all flight operations through the Book-and-Claim system, confirming itself as a pioneer in eco-responsible aviation.
