Medium Category
The Medium category features aircraft with
B&CA magazine 2011 Purchase Planning
Handbook equipped prices between $18M
and $42M, offering 3,100 NM to 5,000 NM
of range and 700 ft

(19.8 m

) to 1,500 ft
3
(42.5 m

) of cabin volume. The Medium cate-
gory value proposition relies on enhanced
cabin comfort and superior range relative to
the Light category, and is often the preferred
business jet category of large corporations.
Bombardier successfully developed the
Medium category with the
Challenger 600
jet
series. Today, Bombardier has three strong
products in this category: the
Challenger 300,
Challenger 605
and
Challenger 850
jets.
Our 2011-2030 market forecast accounts
for significant growth in the Medium aircraft
category. By the first quarter of 2011,
pre-owned inventory in this category had
fallen to 13.2%, 2.9 percentage points lower
than a year ago. For the 20-year period from
2011 to 2030, we expect the Medium category
to generate a total of 7,750 deliveries
representing $236 billion in revenue.
