Bombardier has announced the delivery of its 1,000th super-midsize aircraft. This achievement was celebrated with the delivery of a Challenger 3500 to JM Family Enterprises, a long-standing customer, during a special ceremony at Bombardier’s Challenger delivery centre in Montréal, Canada.
“Reaching the delivery of our 1,000th super-midsize aircraft marks a defining moment for Bombardier,” said Éric Martel, president and CEO of Bombardier. “This milestone is a testament to the dedication and exceptional talent of our employees, as well as the trust and loyalty of our customers around the world. It holds even greater significance as we are celebrating with a client who shares our family values, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to the community. Challenger super-midsize aircraft have been a game changer in the industry as they defined a new business jet segment, and we are excited to continue building on this legacy.”
During the celebration, the Bombardier team handed over the ceremonial keys of the Challenger 3500 to JM Family Enterprises and presented the aircraft to the more than 700 employees and invitees in attendance.
Highlights of the Challenger 3500 cabin include voice control, and several key features integrated from the ultra-long-range Global 7500, notably the Nuage seat.
The Challenger 3500 also carries an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) – as does Bombardier’s entire portfolio of in-production aircraft. Bombardier also covers all its operational flights with Sustainable Aviation Fuel through the Book-and-Claim system.
