The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is one of the hottest-selling super-midsize jets on the market, building on the proven Challenger 300/350 platform with a class-leading cabin, Nuage seating borrowed from the Global 7500, and the lowest direct operating costs in its segment. Backed by a 99.8% dispatch reliability rating and ~900-unit Challenger 300-series heritage, it remains a fixture of corporate, charter, and fractional fleets.The Pilatus PC-24 is unlike anything else in the light jet category. Billed by Pilatus as the "Super Versatile Jet," it pairs jet speed and a class-leading cabin with the rough-field, short-runway capability of an advanced turboprop — opening access to roughly 21,000 airports worldwide, including unpaved and remote strips. A standard pallet-sized cargo door and quickly reconfigurable cabin make it equally at home in executive, commuter, cargo, or medevac roles.

Super-midsize acquisitions typically run 60 to 120 days from initial search to closing, depending on inspection and financing. We manage each stage on your behalf.
We coordinate the pre-buy inspection with trusted third-party facilities as part of the acquisition process. We don't operate an in-house maintenance shop, but we have the outside resources — inspectors, attorneys, and tax consultants — to manage the transaction end to end.
The 3500 is in high charter demand thanks to its cabin, reliability, and operating economics — which can meaningfully help offset ownership costs. The Jet Guys doesn't directly manage aircraft, but we can advise on placement with a reputable management company through our industry relationships.
Key factors include engine program enrollment (e.g. MSP), airframe hours, inspection status, Nuage cabin/avionics configuration, connectivity (Ka-band/Starlink), and damage history. We review all of this during the vetting process.
Yes — and for a newer type with tighter public inventory, off-market access matters. We can locate off-market aircraft through our relationships and trusted aircraft broker network, widening your options considerably.
