Bombardier Challenger 604 Charter

When it comes to transcontinental travel in true heavy-jet comfort, a Bombardier Challenger 604 charter stands apart for its exceptional cabin width, proven long-range capability, and the reliability of its upgraded GE CF34-3B engines. At 2.49 metres wide, the Challenger 604 boasts one of the widest cabins in its class, delivering a spacious, stand-up environment that feels closer to an airliner than a business jet. With a range of 4,000 nm and seating for up to 12 passengers, this Heavy Jet is perfectly suited to the demanding itineraries of discerning travellers departing the UAE. Prime Jet Services is proud to offer access to this distinguished aircraft for clients who expect nothing less than the finest in private aviation.

Technical Specifications

History & Development

The Challenger 604 was developed by Bombardier Aerospace as a significant evolution of the earlier Challenger 601, entering service in 1995 with enhanced engines, increased fuel capacity, and a modernised avionics suite. The upgraded GE CF34-3B turbofan engines delivered improved thrust and fuel efficiency over the CF34-3A units fitted to its predecessor, while a reinforced wing structure allowed for greater maximum take-off weight and extended range. Bombardier positioned the 604 firmly at the premium end of the heavy-jet market, targeting corporate flight departments and charter operators requiring intercontinental reach without sacrificing cabin comfort. The type achieved widespread commercial success, accumulating a strong global fleet and earning Transport Canada and FAA certification, cementing its reputation as one of the most capable and trusted heavy jets of its generation.

Cabin & Comfort

The Challenger 604’s cabin is among the widest available in the Heavy Jet category, stretching 8.61 metres in length, 2.49 metres across, and offering a full stand-up height of 1.83 metres — a combination that makes extended flights genuinely comfortable for up to 12 passengers. Typical configurations feature club seating arrangements with fully reclining seats, generous aisle space, and low ambient noise levels thanks to the aircraft’s active noise and vibration suppression system. A forward galley provides catering preparation facilities, while a private aft lavatory ensures privacy on longer sectors; the dedicated baggage hold at 115 cu ft means carry-on luggage need not encroach on the cabin. In-flight connectivity options keep passengers productive or entertained throughout the journey, making the Challenger 604 as well suited to business travel as it is to leisure escapes.

Ideal Routes from Dubai

With a range of 4,000 nm, the Challenger 604 is ideally suited to non-stop flights from Dubai to destinations such as London (approximately 7.5 hours), Paris (around 7 hours), or Mumbai (roughly 3 hours), covering Europe, the Indian Subcontinent, and Central Asia with ease. Eastward routes to destinations like Bangkok or Singapore fall comfortably within reach, with approximate flight times of around 6 to 7 hours, making the aircraft a versatile choice for both business and leisure travellers across the region.
