Bombardier Challenger 850

A CRJ200 airliner with the airline seats taken out and a lounge put in: the most cabin per dollar in the heavy class.

Rates are the heavy / ultra-long-range jet class band from our estimator. A specific Bombardier Challenger 850's quote depends on its operator, age, and home base.

Bombardier took its CRJ200 regional airliner, pulled the airline seats out, and sold the rest as the Challenger 850. The cabin is enormous for a business jet, typically laid out as a lounge zone and a dining zone for 12 or more.

Its job is the big group: a sports team, an executive delegation, an extended family. Range is shorter than a purpose-built heavy's, so keep it on domestic legs with no fuel stop. There, nothing else moves 12 people in business-jet comfort at the 850's rates, and the equipment bags come aboard with the team.
