Why the Bombardier Challenger 3500 Fits Nashville
With 3,400 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Nashville to destinations such as Miami, Jackson Hole and St. Maarten, allowing for reserves and routing. Ramp space at Nashville International gets tight on Titans home game weekends in the fall, so a departure on those dates is worth planning early.
Nashville trips in this class run from Nashville International (BNA), John C. Tune (KJWN) or Smyrna (KMQY), depending on where the trip starts and the time of day. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is a calculation the operator makes for that weight and that day’s weather, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.
How Nashville Clients Use the Bombardier Challenger 3500
Super midsize jets give Nashville clients coast-to-coast range with a cabin large enough to stand up in, which matters on a flight of four or five hours to the West Coast.
