N131JR

This airframe, N131JR, is a 2024 build of the Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500, serial number 21046, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by C&S Wholesale Grocers LLC, an LLC based in Keene, NH, US. Entered into the 2024 civil registry as a new-build Challenger 3500 for corporate transport, the airframe’s record highlights typical factory-new configuration and an assessed market value of $25,900,000. No additional operators or notable registry transfers are recorded beyond the current corporate ownership.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical two-zone executive layout configured for 8 passengers with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, and provision for 2 crew. Its avionics fit is Bombardier’s advanced integrated suite with four large displays, dual FMS with LPV/RNP capability, Synthetic Vision, and MultiScan weather radar, supporting precision approaches and enhanced situational awareness. Operated by a corporate owner based in Keene, NH, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and transborder business missions up to its 3,400 nm range and long-range cruise of 442 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft follow factory-new 2024 build standards and Honeywell HTF7350 engine support packages common to Challenger 3500 operators.

The BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 occupies the super-midsize executive jet niche, offering long-range capability and a high cruise speed versus lighter-cabin competitors. Competing models typically include other super-midsize platforms that trade cabin volume, range, or operating economics. Buyer and charter demand for a 2024-built Challenger 3500 such as 21046 tends to favor corporate flight departments requiring transcontinental capability and modern cockpit features; resale considerations include market sensitivity to cabin refurbishment cycles and engine time on the Honeywell HTF7350 powerplants.
