Bombardier Inc. has received firm orders from long-time customer Vista and its commonly controlled entities for 40 Challenger 3500 business aircraft, with purchase options for an additional 120 aircraft. The market value of the orders based on current prices is valued at $1.18-billion (U.S.) based on 2026 list prices. If all purchase options are exercised, the total order value for all 160 aircraft would reach $4.72-billion (U.S.).

"Bombardier jets pioneered the super mid-size aircraft category, and, with the Challenger 3500 aircraft, we continue to raise the bar for customers when it comes to offering a full package of performance, reliability and cabin comfort," said Eric Martel, president and chief executive officer of Bombardier. "These significant orders are a testament to how well this aircraft serves our customers, delivering the perfect balance of cutting-edge technology, exceptional comfort and proven value. Vista has been a valued Bombardier customer since they began operating. We are proud that our relationship will further deepen through these significant orders and are excited for Vista's teams and clients to benefit from everything the Challenger 3500 aircraft has to offer."

"This agreement is about leadership, preparedness and client experience," said Thomas Flohr, founder and chairman of Vista. "We are continuing to build the fleet our members will rely on over the next decade, not reacting to short-term cycles, but investing with clarity, scale and discipline."

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 aircraft stands as the ultimate expression of performance and value in the super mid-size segment, combining advanced technology with exceptional passenger comfort.
