The price depends on the route, the dates, the season and where the aircraft has to come from. A full charter costs more than an empty leg, because you pay for the flight back too.

We could not find a current Bombardier spec sheet for this out of production aircraft. Performance, weights and engines are from Jetcraft. Dimensions, cabin size and fuel capacity are from GlobalAir. The sources differ a little: GlobalAir lists a top speed of 488 knots and a maximum range of 4,123 nm. We show Jetcraft's cruise and range figures.
The Challenger 605 is a large jet from Bombardier with a wide, flat cabin. A typical layout seats nine or ten passengers, and it flies about 4,000 nautical miles. It is no longer built, and Jetcraft counted 287 still in operation in 2021.
Bombardier flew the Challenger 605 for the first time in January 2006 and introduced it that year. It is a development of the Challenger 604, which was built from 1996 to 2006. The last 605 was delivered in 2015, and Jetcraft counts 288 built.
Compared with the 604, the 605 has larger cabin windows, a new rounded tail cone and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics with electronic flight bag support. Performance stayed close to the 604. The Challenger 650 followed it with a redesigned cabin, newer avionics and about 5 percent more takeoff thrust.
Operators of the 605 include charter companies, fractional fleets and government flights. Jetcraft puts 60 percent of the fleet in North America, followed by Asia at 19 percent and Europe at 14 percent.

A typical layout seats nine or ten passengers. The exact number depends on how the operator set up the cabin.

Jetcraft lists a maximum cruise speed of 470 knots (870 km/h) and a long range cruise speed of 424 knots (785 km/h).
No. The last one was delivered in 2015, after about 288 were built. The Challenger 650 replaced it.
