N159L

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing the tail number N159L, a Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) built in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 6159. The airframe is recorded as owned by LASAI AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Manassas, VA, US, and is registered in the United States. The unit was delivered new in 2020 and remains in corporate service; its assessed market valuation is $34,000,000, reflecting a late-model Challenger 650 in typical executive configuration and serviceable condition. No public record of multiple prior operators or major registry transfers is indicated beyond the current corporate ownership.

This airframe is commonly configured with a typical executive cabin accommodating 9–12 passengers in a standard layout while retaining certification for up to 22 seats, and this specific aircraft is noted as certified accordingly. Typical operator fittings include a full galley and a forward lavatory, which are common in customer configurations for this frame and enhance suitability for extended domestic or transcontinental missions from its home base in Manassas, VA. Avionics fit for the platform is typically the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing integrated flight management and avionics capabilities aligned with business-jet operational requirements. Operational roles for this aircraft include executive transport and charter operations, with maintenance considerations reflecting typical Challenger 650 program requirements for twin CF34-3B turbofan upkeep and avionics support.

The airframe belongs to the Bombardier Challenger 650 family, positioned as a super-midsize business jet offering long range and robust payload capability. With a 4,000 nm range and cruise speeds around 424 kts, the model competes in its class on transcontinental and intercontinental missions against other super-midsize types. Market interest centers on corporate buyers and charter operators; late-model examples such as this 2020-built airframe retain strong resale value, as reflected by the $34,000,000 estimate, while maintenance and resale considerations focus on CF34 engine program status and avionics upgrade paths for platforms equipped with Pro Line 21.
