Configured with 12-passenger seating, the large-cabin aircraft enhances Northern Jet's growing fleet while supporting a wide range of missions, from business travel to extended leisure itineraries. Known for its spacious cabin, impressive range and strong performance capabilities, the Challenger 650 continues to be one of the most respected aircraft platforms in its class.

The aircraft offers a refined cabin environment designed to support both productivity and relaxation in flight.

Northern Jet's newest Challenger 650 is designed to make every moment on board feel effortless, including the time you spend connected. With Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi, passengers can stay in touch with the office, join video calls, stream, share files or simply enjoy uninterrupted digital access while in flight. It is one more way Northern Jet delivers a more seamless, personal and productive travel experience from takeoff to touchdown.
