The Bombardier Challenger 600 series is a family of business jets. The Challenger 601-3A Large Jet is manufactured by Canadair between 1987 and 1993.

The cabin measures 8.63 m long by 2.49 m wide by 1.86 m tall giving it a total cabin volume of 29.3 cubic meters making it comfortable for 9 passengers, with the maximum configuration seating 16. The baggage compartment can hold up to 16.4 bags assuming your average piece of luggage is less than 0.14 cubic m. The Challenger 601-3A has a maximum range (not including headwinds, high altitude, hot temperatures, or higher capacity) of 6090 km and a maximum speed of 850 km/h.
