Bombardier's Challenger 3500 Business Jet
Enters into Service
(21/09/22)
Bombardier's Challenger 3500 business jet, destined for the
program’s launch customer, Les Goldberg, Chairman and CEO of
Entertainment Technology Partners, has entered into service.
Mr.
Goldberg, a long-time Bombardier customer, will take ownership of the aircraft
later this year.
The latest evolution in the
Challenger lineage, the Challenger 3500 aircraft offers many of
the features of the company’s ultra-luxurious Global family as
standard equipment, including Bombardier’s exclusive Nuage seat.
In addition to a dramatically lower cabin-pressure
altitude, the Challenger 3500 features a voice-controlled
cabin that can manage lighting, temperature and entertainment systems; wireless chargers throughout the cabin; and
a
24-inch, 4K display.
The technologically advanced
Challenger 3500 flight deck includes a standard-equipped auto
throttle system and offers the most baseline features in its
class.
“As a previous owner of a Challenger 350 business
jet, I can say with confidence that Bombardier has hit all the
right notes in creating a next-generation aircraft. The cabin
interior is spectacular, and I appreciate the added comfort and
productivity that these new features will bring to our worldwide
travels. I’m very proud that Entertainment Technology Partners is
right at the start of this exciting next chapter in the Challenger
evolution,” said Mr. Goldberg.
The Challenger 3500 aircraft was designed and
manufactured with sustainability in mind. It is the first business
jet in the super mid-size segment to have an Environmental Product
Declaration published, documenting the aircraft’s environmental
footprint over its lifecycle.
In the cabin, a range of high-end,
environmentally friendly choices make it possible for customers to
opt for up-cycled fabrics, alternative types of wood and natural fibre-based materials without compromising style or comfort.
The
aircraft also allows flight crews to optimize fuel efficiency and
lower CO2 emissions, using an eco app, a first in the
business aviation industry.
“Our Challenger 3500 business jet is clearly the
right aircraft for today. Customers are impressed by the
aircraft's elevated experience, from the comfort and
sustainability of its cabin to cost efficiency to reliability. And
our teams have done an amazing job delivering this aircraft to
market in less than a year since it was launched,” said Éric
Martel, President and CEO, Bombardier. “We congratulate Mr.
Goldberg on being an early adopter of this ground-breaking
aircraft, and we are delighted to share this proud milestone with
him.”
