About the Bombardier Challenger 604

The Bombardier Challenger 604 is the first major modernisation of the original Challenger 601 — introduced in 1996 with GE CF34-3B engines, more range (~4,000 nm), updated avionics and improved fuel efficiency. Production ran 1996-2007. The 604 is the volume large-cabin used Challenger: well-supported, lower acquisition cost than 605/650, but mandate upgrade costs (FANS 1/A, ADS-B) and engine reserves are material due to age.

Buying a Used Bombardier Challenger 604

Buying a Bombardier Challenger 604 is about the engines, maintenance programs and avionics as much as the airframe. Engine and airframe hourly-maintenance programs transfer with the aircraft and materially change both price and risk.

What to check before buying

  • Engine status & program — time to overhaul/MPI and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly maintenance program (the biggest value driver on any jet).
  • Airframe program & inspections — scheduled (Doc) inspections, airframe/parts programs and total cycles.
  • Avionics & mandates — a modern glass flight deck plus required mandates (ADS-B, FANS) raise value and capability.
  • Damage history & logbooks — complete, gap-free records and a clean accident history protect resale.
  • Pre-buy inspection — a full pre-buy at a type-authorised service centre before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bombardier Challenger 604

What should buyers know about Challenger 604 maintenance?
Hourly maintenance averages $1,370 with annual costs of $200-300K. A-checks every 600 hours and C-checks every 48-72 months are the major scheduled events. Verify whether engines are enrolled in an hourly maintenance program — unenrolled engines can add significant unplanned costs. The GE CF34-3B engines are mature and well-supported.
How does the Challenger 604 compare to the 605?
The 605 (2007+) added Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, improved cabin, and slightly better performance. Used 605s command $2-4M more than comparable 604s. The 604s wider availability at $7-9M makes it the value choice. For operators who can absorb a cockpit upgrade ($1-2M), the 604 delivers comparable utility to the 605 at lower total cost.
Is the Challenger 604 good for charter revenue?
The 604 is one of the most popular charter aircraft globally thanks to its wide, flat-floor cabin (8.2 ft width), transcontinental range (3,850 nm), and strong brand recognition. Charter rates of $6,000-8,000/hr and high demand make it economically viable for Part 135 operators flying 400+ hours annually. The wide cabin consistently outscores competitors in passenger satisfaction surveys.
