Why the Bombardier Challenger 600 Fits New York
With 2,800 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from New York to destinations such as Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco, allowing for reserves and routing. From roughly November through March, snow and de-icing can add time to a New York departure, so build a little slack into winter plans.
With an aircraft this size, Teterboro’s 100,000 lb operating-weight limit is worth checking early. Many heavy jets operate within it, while the largest long range jets and airliners usually fly from Westchester County, Stewart or one of the major New York airports. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, its weight and the day’s weather, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.
How New York Clients Use the Bombardier Challenger 600
This category suits a New York group that needs both distance and space, such as a sports team or a company team that will spend the flight working.
