Onboard amenities include a full galley, forward and aft lavatories, and an optional stand-up shower, supporting long-range point-to-point business and private missions from its base in Oklahoma City. Avionics for the airframe are the Bombardier Vision flight deck with full fly-by-wire control complemented by HUD, EVS, SVS and MultiScan weather radar, enabling enhanced situational awareness and operational flexibility in diverse environments.

The BD-700-2A12 Global 7500 occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet segment, offering transcontinental to intercontinental range performance with high cruise speed and elevated service ceiling as exemplified by N179QS. Buyers and operators in this market prioritize cabin volume, range and advanced flight systems — attributes present in this airframe through its seating flexibility, long 7,700 nm range and Bombardier Vision avionics suite. Maintenance and resale considerations for this model hinge on engine support for the GE Passport 20 and the aircraft’s recent build year (2022), factors that contribute to retained value near the stated $70,000,000 level.
