The cabin for this Challenger 604 airframe is arranged in a typical executive layout intended for 10–12 passengers with double-club or forward club plus divan configurations common, while the airframe remains certified for up to 22 seats depending on configuration. Avionics for the model are commonly the Collins Pro Line 4; this aircraft is listed with that OEM fit although many similar airframes receive later avionics upgrades. Typical mission profiles for the type include medium- to long-range corporate travel and charter operations operating from the owner/operator base in Houston, TX, US, flying coast-to-coast or international segments within the transcontinental and near-offshore range. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin GE CF34-3B engines and the airframe’s age, with lifecycle and refurbishment items typical of a 1999-built business jet.
The Bombardier Challenger 604 occupies a mid-to-large cabin business jet niche offering long-range capability and comfortable executive accommodations for transcontinental missions. Competing models in its class include other large-cabin jets from manufacturers such as Gulfstream and Dassault, where buyers weigh cabin size, range, and operating costs against acquisition price; this example’s estimated value is $5,000,000. Demand on the pre-owned market tends to favor well-maintained, avionics-upgraded airframes; resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include continued engine support for the GE CF34-3B and potential costs for avionics modernization to remain competitive.
