Bombardier debuts pristine Certified Pre-Owned jet at EBACE 2023

At EBACE 2023, Bombardier displayed one of the stunning graduates from its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) aircraft program – a like-new Challenger 605 sporting a freshly refurbished interior and sparkling exterior paint, new Collins Pro Line 21 advanced avionics, cost-saving Smart Parts Preferred and Smart Link Plus connected aircraft systems, and Ka-band cabin connectivity.

Bombardier’s CPO aircraft program has created a premium class of pre-owned Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft. Since debuting in mid-2021, the CPO initiative has focused on refurbishing and upgrading only the best pre-owned Bombardier jets – and customers are taking notice.

Every Bombardier CPO aircraft comes with an exclusive one-year OEM warranty; airframe, engine and APU program coverage; and all applicable maintenance completed.

“Bombardier customers wanted a certified option beyond the traditional pre-owned aircraft offering and our new CPO program certainly delivers on this premise,” said Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Bombardier Aftermarket Services and Strategy. “As the OEM, we are uniquely positioned to provide them with a best-in-class, turn-key certified aircraft solution – a new and exciting category in the industry.”

To date, several CPO aircraft are in service worldwide, having commanded a higher resale price while remaining on the market for less time than comparable pre-owned Bombardier models.

Indeed, appraisal authorities such as Aircraft Bluebook, Vref and AircraftPost now report CPO aircraft activity in a distinct category compared to other pre-owned models.
