The aircraft is registered as a 23-seat transport/executive configuration (registry shows 23 seats); XRS examples typically employ a three-zone executive layout with a forward galley and forward and aft lavatories, consistent with the model’s common fit. Avionics for the type are listed as the Honeywell Primus 2000XP as a typical XRS fit, with many examples in the fleet later upgraded to Primus Elite—this airframe’s documentation notes the Primus 2000XP as the baseline fit. With a long-range capability of 6,390 nm and a high cruise of 488 kts, mission profiles for this specific airframe would commonly include intercontinental executive transport, transoceanic charter, and corporate relocation flights; however, exact operator employment for this serial is Not published. Maintenance considerations follow Bombardier Global-series practices for heavy business jets powered by BR700 family turbofans, including scheduled shop visits for the BR700-710A220 engines.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS occupies the long-range business jet niche, offering transoceanic range and high cruise speed relative to smaller business jets. Competing types include long-range offerings from Gulfstream and Dassault; buyer and charter demand typically favor well-maintained airframes with upgraded avionics and attractive cabin layouts. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine shop visit cycles for the BR700-710A220 units, avionics upgrade history (Primus 2000XP versus Primus Elite), and the registered 23-seat configuration, factors that influence valuation near the cited $18,000,000 level.
