Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N131QS, is a 2024-built Bombardier Global 5500 (BD-700-1A11) with manufacturer serial number 60134. The aircraft is owned by BFT AIR LLC, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the United States. The registry reflects a modern delivery and entry into service cycle for a current-production Global-class jet; ownership has been held by a single corporate registrant since manufacture. Condition and valuation data are not published in the supplied dataset.
The airframe is configured with an 8-place executive layout consistent with registry seating counts and is equipped with the Bombardier G5000 flight deck / modern Global-class avionics fit. Operating from its Oklahoma City base under corporate ownership, the aircraft’s long-range capability and high cruise speed enable transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point missions without intermediate stops. The pair of BR700-710D521 turbofan engines supporting cruise at 470 kts and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft underpin typical executive transport roles, while the modern avionics suite simplifies advanced flight operations and crew situational awareness. Maintenance planning for this specific airframe will follow manufacturer and OEM support paths typical for BR700-engined Global-series aircraft.
This individual Global 5500 airframe embodies the performance characteristics of the Global family, combining near-ultralong-range capability (4,800 nm), high-speed cruise (470 kts), and a high-altitude ceiling (51,000 ft) in an eight-seat executive configuration. As a current-production 2024 example with G5000 avionics and BR700 series powerplants, it represents the modern-spec end of the market for large-cabin, long-range business jets and aligns with operator expectations for transcontinental and international corporate transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will be influenced by its new-build provenance, factory serial 60134, and continuity of corporate ownership under BFT AIR LLC.
