The Bombardier Challenger 300 is a super-mid-sized jet capable of traversing trans-continental distances.

Design and development

The project was launched at the Paris Air Show on July 13 1999, at which time it was called the Bombardier Continental. The jet was renamed in September 2002, and entered commercial service in January 2004.
