Bombardier has reached a significant milestone with the delivery of its 1,000th super-midsize aircraft, marking a major achievement in business aviation. The Challenger 3500 aircraft was delivered to JM Family Enterprises, a long-standing Bombardier customer, during a special ceremony at Bombardier’s Challenger delivery centre in Montréal.
Éric Martel, President and CEO of Bombardier, highlighted the dedication and talent of employees, along with the loyalty of customers. The Challenger series has defined a new business jet segment, setting industry standards for reliability and performance.
During the celebration, ceremonial keys were handed to JM Family Enterprises, with more than 700 employees and invitees present. The Challenger 3500 jet continues to lead its segment, becoming the most delivered jet in 2024.
The aircraft offers the lowest direct operating costs, exceptional versatility, and a state-of-the-art cabin. It includes several industry-first features such as a voice-controlled cabin and the innovative Nuage seat, adapted from Bombardier’s Global 7500 aircraft.
