N102CE

This entry concerns the specific airframe bearing the U.S. registration N102CE, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 built by Bombardier Inc. in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 20849. The airframe is recorded in U.S. registry and is owned by the corporation CENTERPOINT ENERGY SERVICE CO LLC, based in Houston, TX, US; the aircraft’s ownership is therefore tied to a corporate operator in Houston. The listing value for this individual Challenger 350 is recorded at $18,500,000, and the type certificate and registry reflect a standard corporate-operated executive configuration for this serial.

The airframe is fitted with an executive eight-place cabin in a typical forward-galley layout with an enclosed lavatory; final configuration may vary by owner, but this airframe is documented with an Executive 8-place typical layout (forward galley, enclosed lavatory; configuration may vary by owner). Avionics are installed as Collins / Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (advanced) with optional systems available such as autothrottle, EVS, and HUD; these enhance situational awareness and can support single-pilot or two-pilot corporate operations depending on outfitting. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include transcontinental and continental U.S. corporate travel within the aircraft’s 3,200 nm range and high-speed cruise of 459 kts, operating from Houston as the owner’s base.

The airframe is a member of the Challenger 300/350 family, marketed as the Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350, positioned for mid-size corporate jet missions combining range and cabin comfort. Its twin Honeywell AS907-2-1A powerplants producing 7,323 lbf each place it in a performance niche competing with other mid-size cabin jets for charter and corporate buyers. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include standard Challenger 350 maintenance cycles and avionics upgrade pathways (Pro Line 21 options) that can affect aftermarket desirability and valuation at the listed $18,500,000.
