Desert Jet, a full-service business aviation company in Greater Palm Springs, California, is thrilled to introduce the newest addition to its charter fleet, a Challenger 300. This super mid-sized jet, based in Denver, Colorado, is ready for immediate charter.

The Challenger 300 is a versatile corporate jet with a comfortable cabin, making it one of the most popular aircraft in its class. It can fly nonstop between major cities in the US, cover long distances in a single leg to areas in North and South America, and access short-run airports.

With over six feet of stand-up cabin space and comfortable seating for up to 10 passengers, the Challenger 300 offers a luxurious travel experience. The roomy interior features a fully enclosed lavatory with a sink and a forward galley with ample room for meal prep and storage for refreshments and snacks. The seating configuration includes six well-appointed leather captain’s chairs, a large three-seat divan and an optional 10th seat. The accessible, spacious baggage area can accommodate a substantial amount of luggage, including snow skis and golf clubs.

Inflight wi-fi is complimentary, and satellite phone service is available. An inflight entertainment system allows passengers to watch movies and listen to music over the aircraft’s sound system.

“Desert Jet’s diverse fleet of managed aircraft, including our other super mid-sized Citation Sovereigns, our Citation CJ3 light jets and the workhorse King Air 350i turboprop, provides a wide variety of charter options to fit all of our clients’ North American needs,” says CEO Jared Fox.
