The cabin of the Challenger 601 is more modern than that of its older brother but has the same features and configurations as possible with 8.60 meters in length. This cabin is the largest in the private jet market.
Pilot’s advice: Improved avionics, newer aircraft, modernized cabin, higher maximum range, and cheaper to operate than the 600: so many good reasons to choose this business jet for flights of 4,000 or more 5,000 km (perfect for 8 passengers, I find). There is one in London, one in Switzerland, one in Spain, several in Russia. Aircraft very used to reach Russia or the Middle East but personally I prefer his successor the Challenger 604.
Private Jet Equivalent: Falcon 900 , Falcon 2000 , Hawker 4000
