A modern evolution of the popular Challenger 300, the Bombardier Challenger 350 is a genuine success story for Bombardier — and one of the most sought-after aircraft on the European charter market. It combines optimum performance, a spacious flat-floor cabin, and outstanding value for groups of 4 to 8 passengers.
At MK Partnair, the Challenger 350 is our founder Ahmed’s favourite aircraft. “The Challenger 350’s cabin gives you a sense of space you simply don’t find elsewhere in its category. You feel it the moment you step on board. It’s the aircraft we recommend most in its class.”

On board the Challenger 350 — The passenger experience
A cabin that changes the experience
The Challenger 350 features the same stand-up cabin as its predecessor, but is considerably more spacious than many of its competitors. Attention to detail is reflected in every aspect of the interior layout and equipment — offering luxurious comfort to each of its 8 passengers with outstanding soundproofing to ensure a soothing flying experience. Large windows bathe the cabin in natural light, creating a pleasant atmosphere in which to relax, escape, or work.
- 8 leather seats in double club configuration with individual fold-out tables
- Swivelling, reclining seats to 180° — working or sleeping position
- Full galley at the front: microwave, ice drawer, worktop, real dining space
- Private lavatory with backlit mirror, vanity, sink and faucet
- Large oval windows — remarkable natural light for an aircraft of this size
- Pressurised, heated baggage hold accessible in-flight — 3 m³, 12 to 13 standard cases
A connected cabin
The Challenger 350 is equipped with a cabin management system (CMS) controllable from your phone via Bluetooth. Lighting, window shades, temperature, entertainment — all managed from your seat, without calling the crew for every adjustment. The 22-inch HD screens at each seat and the integrated audio system complete the experience. Wi-Fi is available as an option depending on the operator.
💡 MK Partnair’s take: The Challenger 350 is our favourite. The moment a group exceeds 6 or 7 people and the flight is over 3 to 4 hours, it’s the first aircraft we recommend. The cabin doesn’t lie — you feel genuinely comfortable on board. The sense of space, the silence, the seats: everything contributes to arriving relaxed. It’s the difference between “taking a jet” and “travelling well”.
Performance and accessible destinations
Optimum performance, worldwide reach
The Challenger 350 shines with optimum performance, making it easy to fly to destinations all over the world. With a remarkable range of almost 6,000 km, it’s possible to fly non-stop over long distances. The power of the 2 Honeywell HTF7350 engines enables the aircraft to fly over oceans and continents with ease, and to operate on short technical runways. State-of-the-art avionics and weather detection systems reduce the pilot’s workload and enhance the jet’s ability to avoid turbulence — significantly increasing passenger comfort.
