Bombardier Challenger 300
The short answer
The Bombardier Challenger 300 was observed at $1,797–$19,630 per hour, median $7,588, across 253 real empty-leg offers over 84 days. A whole-aircraft leg ran $3,960–$37,088, median $8,600. Updated 2026-10-18.
These are empty-leg rates — an aircraft repositioning anyway, sold below its on-demand price. Treat them as the floor for what this type costs per hour, not as a charter quote.
Empty-leg rate vs charter rate
The distinction most rate cards blur.
Empty leg — observed
$1,797–$19,630/h
From 253 offers we actually saw listed. The date, route and aircraft are fixed by the operator's repositioning need.
On-demand charter
Quoted per trip
Higher — on corridors we can price both ways, empty legs came in roughly a quarter to a third below the lowest charter quote. We publish no charter hourly rate for this type because we have not observed one.
