N146AB

This article covers the specific Bombardier Global Express airframe bearing U.S. registration N146AB, a 2001-build with manufacturer serial number 9100. The aircraft, a production example of the Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express manufactured by Bombardier Inc., is owned by BIG BRIE LLC, an entity registered as an LLC in Wilmington, DE, US and operated under U.S. registry. The airframe's condition and transactional history have it appraised at $8,000,000; notable registry entries pertain to its assignment to BIG BRIE LLC as the listed owner.

The airframe is configured in a large‑cabin executive layout, described as a Large‑cabin executive layout (typical 13–19 executive seats; certified up to 23 pax) and certified to carry up to 23 passengers. Typical operations for this specific airframe would reflect long‑range corporate or private transport missions consistent with a 6,500 nm range and high‑altitude cruise capabilities to 51,000 ft, enabling non‑stop intercontinental routing. As a U.S.-registered, LLC‑owned aircraft based on the owner’s Wilmington, Delaware registration, it is primarily operated under corporate or private flight department management; routine maintenance considerations align with twin BR710 powerplant care cycles and large‑cabin systems upkeep for executive interiors. Avionics and outfitting specifics are not published for this individual airframe.

The airframe is a member of the Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express family, a long‑range business jet platform positioned for transoceanic executive transport with a cruise speed of about 488 kts and intercontinental range of 6,500 nm. In its market niche it competes with other ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jets; buyer and charter demand typically target operators requiring transcontinental flexibility and large cabin comfort. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 2001 build emphasize BR710 engine overhauls, age‑related cabin refurbishment, and the aircraft’s current valuation at $8,000,000 when assessing lifecycle cost and market comparables.
