N120QS

This entry covers the airframe registered as N120QS, a 2022-built Bombardier business jet, serial number 60066, operated in a fractional ownership model. The aircraft is a Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5500 manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and is held as co-owned (fractional) under the listed ownership type Co-Owned (fractional); individual owner name and home base are not published. Registered in the US, the airframe's modern build and low-time status underpin an estimated market valuation of $49,000,000 and suggest typical condition consistent with recent-production corporate Globals.

The individual cabin of N120QS is outfitted in an 8-place executive fractional layout featuring a forward galley, multiple club seating zones and large forward and aft baggage compartments, matching typical Global 5500 corporate configurations for transcontinental and intercontinental missions. Avionics fitment is the factory Bombardier Vision flight deck (four large displays) with optional systems listed on the aircraft such as Combined Vision System (CVS) / HUD, PBN, ADS-B In, and SATCOM, enabling advanced situational awareness and long-range communications appropriate for owner-operators or fractional operator flight departments. Typical operations for this airframe would include high-speed, long-range executive transport between major business centers, with performance and systems tailored for short turnarounds under fractional program maintenance.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5500 sits in the long-range ultra-large-cabin business jet niche, offering a balance of transoceanic range (5,900 nm) and high cruise speed (516 kts), competing with current-generation offerings from Gulfstream and Dassault. Demand in fractional and charter sectors favors the 5500 for its combination of cabin comfort, range and modern avionics; resale considerations include the value retention tied to low calendar age (2022) and robust OEM support from Bombardier Inc. Maintenance and operating profiles reflect twin BR700-series engines that are well-established in business-jet service networks, which supports predictable maintenance intervals and aftermarket liquidity.
