Bombardier this week said it delivered its 200th Challenger 3500 less than four years after the model entered service, making it one of the most popular business jets to hit the market in recent years.

The manufacturer in a news release Monday said it made the 200th delivery to Piero Ferrari, vice president of the Italian automaker that shares his surname. Bombardier said the Ferrari executive will use the jet for travel to Formula One races and other business engagements.
