Bombardier recently delivered its 600th Challenger. Aircraft serial number 5557 rolled off Bombardier’s Challenger assembly line in Montreal and is now at the company’s completion centre in Tucson, where it will be furnished with a customised interior.

Scheduled to enter service this summer, the Challenger will primarily be used for regional and intercontinental executive travel by an international corporation based in North America. The model has proved particularly popular with governments and is in service with those of Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, Korea, Malaysia, Jordan and the US FAA.
