The Bombardier Challenger (CL300) aircraft is a new generation aircraft designed to deliver best-of-class value in the super midsize business jet category, it includes 6 luxurious VIP seats and a three-seater divan. With an 8.72m long cabin designed to provide a highly productive working environment for travellers with a well-appointed luxury interior, the CL300 has been rated as a high performance jet best suited for regional, short sector, or multi-stop itineraries. It is a convenient aircraft for elites wishing to travel short excursions within the GCC and Middle East, Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent.
