Challenger 850 Mission Profile

Customers who buy a Challenger 850 are those focused on the longer, cross-country trips with large groups of people. This aircraft also saves buyers money, as improvements from its predecessors aid in increased fuel efficiency. The Challenger 850 also is built so that it can withstand the number of takeoffs an average airliner witnesses, thus promoting substantial durability through usage and weather. That being said, its an aircraft which is meant to be put to good use.

The Challenger 850 needs longer runways to take off, so the focus destinations for its travelers should be those of larger cities, rather than less popular destinations.
