Bombardier Challenger 650 for Sale

The Bombardier Challenger 650 is the latest evolution of the Challenger 600 series — the most successful large business aircraft platform of all time with over 1,000 deliveries. Built on a proven design that dates to the 1980s but updated with modern Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics, redesigned seats, and Ka-band connectivity, the 650 delivers ~4,000 nm of range and features the widest cabin in its class at 7 feet 11 inches across.

The Jet Guys helps qualified buyers source, vet, and acquire Challenger 650 aircraft through our dedicated acquisition consulting service. NetJets is the largest operator, which underpins a healthy and active pre-owned market.

frequently asked questions

Challenger 650 Acquisition FAQ

How much does a Bombardier Challenger 650 cost?

Pre-owned Challenger 650s typically range from around $17M for earlier 2015–2017 examples to roughly $32M for low-time recent aircraft; the new list price is approximately $32–33M. Pricing depends on year, hours, engine program enrollment, and cabin configuration. Contact us for current market figures.

How long does the acquisition process take?

Large-cabin acquisitions typically run 90 to 150 days from initial search to closing, given the complexity of inspection, records review, and any international considerations. We manage the full process on your behalf.

Does The Jet Guys handle pre-buy inspections?

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.

Can I offset ownership costs by chartering my Challenger 650?

The Challenger 650 has strong charter appeal thanks to its cabin width, transatlantic range, and large NetJets fleet presence (which familiarizes the market). The Jet Guys doesn't directly manage aircraft, but we can advise on placement with a management company through our relationships.

What should I look for when buying a used Challenger 650?

Key factors include engine program enrollment (GE OnPoint, JSSI), airframe hours and cycles, inspection status (96-month is significant), avionics (Pro Line 21 Advanced with Fusion), connectivity (Ka-band, Starlink), cabin condition, and any damage history. We review all of this during vetting.

Are off-market Challenger 650s available?

Yes — and given the large NetJets fleet, off-market transactions are common. We can locate off-market aircraft through our relationships and trusted aircraft broker network.
