As a 2001 Challenger 604, this airframe reflects mature airframe hours and systems typical of its vintage and carries an assessed market value of $5,500,000.

The cabin of this specific Challenger 604 is configured in an executive charter layout for 9 passengers, featuring a forward full-service galley and an enclosed aft lavatory. Avionics fit is not published for this specific airframe. Operated from its registered base in Las Vegas, NV, the aircraft’s combination of 3,756 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed allows for typical medium- to long-range executive charter missions within continental and transcontinental sectors from its home base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the twin General Electric CF34 (CF34-3B series) engines and systems common to the Challenger 604 series, reflecting the service history and parts support expected for a 2001-built airframe.

This airframe, as a Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16), occupies the fixed-wing multi-engine executive charter category, balancing transcontinental range with a nine-passenger executive cabin. The twin CF34-3B powerplants with 9,140 lbf thrust each support high-cruise performance to 41,000 ft, underpinning the platform’s operational utility for charter operators. The stated market value of $5,500,000 situates this specific airframe within the resale and charter market considerations for early-2000s heavy light/medium business jets, with valuation influenced by configuration, maintenance status, and operator history.
