The baseline Challenger 300 was formally launched at the 1999 Paris Air Show, being initially referred to as the Bombardier Continental. Type certification and the first deliveries both originally scheduled to take place during 2002. In November 1999, it was announced that the programme was proceeding ahead of schedule, having reached its first production milestone that same month; final assembly was performed in Montreal, Quebec. In early March 2000, the company stated that 54 orders had been secured for the Challenger 300 since its launch. Even in early 2001, Bombardier was anticipating the aircraft's entry to service during the following year. However, delays were encountered that year, some of which can be attributed to the AS900 engine, which itself was not certified as quickly as had been expected. On 14 August 2001, the first prototype performed its maiden flight; During September 2002, it was announced that the entry to service date had been pushed back so that design modifications could be implimented. On 31 May 2003, it received Transport Canada's approval, followed on 4 June by US FAR 25 certification and on 31 July by European JAR 25 approval.

The improved variant first flew on 2 March 2013, was unveiled at the next May EBACE and was due to enter service in May 2014. Hot section modifications and a FADEC push gave the Honeywell HTF7350 7.3% more takeoff thrust at with the same flat rating, durability and reliability. The avionics include four Adaptive LCD Displays, Dual FMS with LPV and RNP approaches capability, SVS, a MultiScan, Weather Radar, Dual IRS, dual SBAS GPS, integrated EFIS and dual VHF and HF radios. Challenger 300 deliveries. The 350th Challenger 350 was delivered in July 2020. By 2020s, second hand Challenger 300s typically cost from $7 million to over $20 million. During 2021, Bombardier's list price for a new Challenger 350 was $26.7M. During 2022, the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered pilots to perform additional safety checks on the model after "multiple incidents" in which a horizontal stabilizer malfunctioned. In 2023, a passenger was killed by blunt force trauma in a Challenger 300 inflicted when a series of automated pilot instructions resulted in the stabilizer control system being turned off, causing the aircraft to pitch violently.
