Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N130QS, is a 2024-built Bombardier business jet, serial number 60126, manufactured by Bombardier Inc.. The aircraft is owned by CHARLES KAYE LLC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and carries a United States registration. Valued at approximately $38,900,000, this fixed-wing multi-engine Global 5500 remains in executive configuration and is presented in company records as an actively registered asset for corporate operations. The registration shows an 8-seat executive layout, differing from the typical factory offer for the type.
The airframe is registered/configured as an 8‑seat executive layout according to registration data; this specific configuration supports high-comfort corporate missions with fewer, more spacious seating areas. Avionics are listed as the Bombardier Vision flight deck, with options for Pro Line Fusion or Combined Vision System available on the platform generally. Typical mission profiles for this Global 5500 airframe would exploit its long-range capability of 5,900 nm and high cruise of 488 kts for transcontinental and transoceanic executive transport originating from the owner’s Oklahoma City base. Maintenance considerations align with factory-supportable BR700-series engine programs and Bombardier airframe support, reflecting standard executive-jet upkeep for a 2024 build.
The airframe is a Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5500, placing it in the long-range, ultra-premium business jet segment produced by Bombardier Inc. The Global 5500 competes with other long-range corporate jets, offering a high ceiling of 51,000 ft, efficient Pearl-derived BR700 powerplants, and extended mission flexibility. Buyer and charter demand for the type centers on transcontinental range and cabin comfort; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine program enrollment and avionics upgrade paths. The factory typically offers the Global 5500 in 12–16 passenger layouts with three cabin zones, which contrasts with this airframe’s documented 8-seat executive configuration.
