Bombardier Challenger 350 for Sale: Price, Specs and Buying Guide

Challenger 350 price in 2026

Pre-owned Challenger 350s from the 2016-2020 model years price between $13.5 million and $26.7 million as of 2026, against a new list price around $25.9 million for a current-production aircraft. The gap between an early and a late example in that run is mostly hours and engine program status, not equipment, since the cabin and avionics architecture stayed consistent across it.

An aircraft still on a Honeywell MSP Gold engine program, with a Head-Up Display fitted and a current Pro Line 21 Advanced software load, sits at the top of the range. One approaching engine overhaul with a dated avionics database sits at the bottom regardless of year.

What to check before you buy

High utilization is normal for this model, given how often it flies charter, so verify condition rather than assume it from the logbook cover alone.

• Confirm Honeywell HTF7350 engine program (MSP Gold) hours, cycles and overhaul status.
• Check Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics currency and whether a Head-Up Display is fitted.
• Review compliance history with Challenger 300 and 350 wing and fuel-system service bulletins.
• Inspect brake and tire wear closely, since this model typically sees high-cycle regional utilization.
• Check APU hours and maintenance history.
• Confirm the avionics database and ADS-B and WAAS compliance match the regions you intend to operate in.

Operating costs

SimpleFlying's 2024 operating-cost analysis puts the Challenger 350 at roughly $2,625 to $2,750 per flight hour in direct operating cost, competitive for a super-midsize cabin of this width. That figure covers fuel, engine reserves and routine maintenance. Crew, hangar and insurance costs sit on top and vary by country, so check our Africa operating cost guide for what those typically add per hour in Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya.

Who it suits in Africa

This is the aircraft for a corporate group that flies a genuine circuit rather than one or two routes: Lagos to Accra to Abidjan, or Johannesburg out to regional Southern African capitals, with a full team on board rather than two or three executives. The wide cabin makes it usable as a flying boardroom, not just transport.

Buyers who need to carry more people or fly further without leaving the Bombardier family look at the larger Challenger 650.
