The Challenger 350 took what worked on the 300 and improved it, and the market has rewarded it ever since. Better wing, more range, a quieter cabin, and the same operating economics that made the platform a fixture in corporate and charter fleets. It remains one of the most sought after super-midsize aircraft in service, and the availability numbers show it. Here is where the market stands entering September.
There are six Challenger 350s for sale worldwide. That is the whole story, and everything else is detail. Inventory has more than halved since June while July and August produced nine sales between them. Seventeen aircraft sold in the past six months against six available today.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are 6 Challenger 350s for sale, or 1.4% of the fleet.
Supply has been anything but steady. Seven aircraft in March, six in April, then a build to nine in May and 13 in June. That cushion lasted about a minute. Inventory dropped to eight in July and sits at six today, less than half the June peak.
At 1.4% availability, this is not a market where a buyer gets to be picky. 4.1% of the fleet traded over the past six months, nearly three times what is on offer right now.
Market Listings
Asking prices run $15.95 million to $21.995 million. Six-month sold prices ran $16.3 million to $23.7 million.
Read that carefully. The top of the recent transaction range sits $1.7 million above the highest asking price on the market today. Somebody paid real money for the right airplane, and nothing currently listed is asking what that one brought. With six aircraft available, a single outlier at either end skews the whole range, so treat these numbers as boundaries rather than as a valuation. Year, hours, maintenance status, programs, and specification are doing the work.
Current listings average 144 days on market against 128 days for aircraft that sold. Sixteen days apart, which puts typical exposure right around four to five months for both groups.
Sales Activity
Seventeen Challenger 350s have sold in the past six months, three of them off market.
The first four months were quiet. Two sales in March, four in April, then one in each of May and June. Summer changed the rhythm completely. Five aircraft sold in July and four in August, so nine of the seventeen six-month transactions closed in the past two months.
That acceleration lined up exactly with inventory falling from 13 aircraft to six. Sales speeding up while supply collapses is not a coincidence, it is buyers moving on what is left.
Key Takeaways
• 6 aircraft available, only 1.4% of the fleet.
• 17 aircraft sold in six months, 4.1% of the fleet.
• Inventory fell from 13 in June to 6 in August.
• Nine of the 17 sales closed in July and August.
• Six-month volume runs nearly three times the current available inventory.
• Top of the sold range sits above the highest current asking price.
Key Insight
This is as tight as the 350 market has been, and the trend is still pointing the same direction. Six airplanes, a fleet that turned over at three times that rate in six months, and a summer where transaction pace accelerated instead of slowing. Sellers have leverage and should be using it, because a well specified, correctly priced 350 is not going to need a long runway. Buyers do not have the luxury of waiting for a better option to list. Decide what you want now, because at this inventory level the next good airplane is spoken for before most people hear about it.
