Challenger 604
The heavy jet with the room. The cabin is about 8 ft 2 in wide, the widest of the heavy jets we source, with about 6 ft 1 in of headroom, 10 to 12 seats, a full galley and a baggage bay you can reach in flight. Range is about 4,000 nautical miles. Every 604 was built from 1995 to 2006, so nearly every one goes through the written exception review, and the ones we recommend have passed it.

How we estimate bag counts
We allow 40 to 55% of the listed baggage volume for cases and 30 to 40% for golf bags, which pack poorly in nose and tail compartments. Assumed external dimensions: checked bag 28 × 20 × 12 in; golf travel bag 50 × 16 × 12 in; weekend bag 22 × 12 × 12 in. Counts are rounded down and show separate loads, not a combined allowance. Unspecified extra storage is excluded.
Volume estimates only. Bag shape, compartment doors, weight and fuel requirements determine the final fit. Tell us about mixed luggage, skis or bulky items.
Include your baggage in a quote request →- Age and the exception review, every time. Nearly every Challenger 604 was built before 2005, and the newest is from 2006, so all but a few tails get the written exception review: the inspection program, the last heavy check, avionics and interior updates. You see that review before you decide.
- The crew’s hours on the type and the inspection history of the specific airplane.
- Cabin condition on the specific tail. A 604 with a refreshed interior and a current wifi system flies like a much newer aircraft; one without them does not, and the photos on the quote show which you are getting.

Challenger 604 questions.
Is the Challenger 604 too old to charter?
Not by itself. The 604 was built from 1995 to 2006, so nearly every one is older than our 2005 standard. When we recommend one, it has passed the written exception review: inspection history, the last heavy check, avionics and interior updates, and the crew’s time in type. You see that review before you decide. If you would rather have a newer heavy jet, we will provide an option and show you the difference in the quote.
How many people fit in a Challenger 604?
Ten to twelve, depending on the layout. The usual cabin has a club of four forward, a conference grouping across from a divan in the middle, and two more seats aft. Twelve adults with bags is inside the limits on every corridor leg. The cabin is about 8 ft 2 in wide, so it feels more like a small living room than an aisle.
