Which should you charter?
On paper the Challenger 604 does not lead on any of the figures above. Pick it when one is based closer to your departure airport, which cuts positioning cost and often the total price.
Pick the Challenger 605 if you need the extra 280 km (151 nm) of range.
The Challenger 604 is estimated at $8,300/hr against $8,800/hr for the Challenger 605, about $500 less per hour. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.
Example trip: the Challenger 605 can fly New York (TEB) to Madrid (MAD) nonstop, 5,774 km. The Challenger 604 would need a fuel stop on that route.
Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
