Challenger 300

Though it has only been in commercial operation since 2004, the Challenger 300 has become one of the most desirable small airplanes on the market. Capable of carrying up to 16 passengers, the Challenger 300 is better suited for an 8-man ride. It is a unique personal aircraft because of its ability to handle transcontinental flights and its ability to house a two-man crew. Because of the ideal size and speed combination, the Challenger 300 is most often chartered by business people who are looking to save a bit of money and save a lot of time.
