Description: Bombardier Offers Certified Pre-Owned Aircraft as a New Way to Buy a Jet—BJT

Just as auto manufacturers have been offering certified pre-owned programs for years, Bombardier has a similar initiative for aircraft, which the Canadian airframer launched in 2021. It is the only business jet OEM to offer such a program.
At the recent EBACE show in Geneva, Bombardier displayed a Challenger 605—originally built in 2012—as an example of how it selects Learjet, Challenger, or Global jets from trade-in or on the open market and inspects, updates, and modernizes them inside and out. After that process, the refurbished jets are offered with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty and operational support.
Bombardier only accepts aircraft candidates that are already in the top tier of the market and improves them from there. Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) aircraft are listed as a distinct category by aircraft appraisal analysts such as Aircraft Bluebook, Vref, and AircraftPost. In terms of value, those aircraft are being compared to versions five years newer.
The company says that in the last five years, an average of 460 used Bombardier aircraft have changed hands annually, so it sees an opportunity to add value to the market. Another benefit for customers is that they won’t have to wait for a new aircraft to go through the assembly process or a used aircraft to go through any necessary updates. The CPO aircraft are available turn-key.
