N228SS

This airframe, registered as N228SS, is a 2003-built Bombardier Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express with manufacturer serial number 9124. The jet is owned by SWS VENTURE CAPITAL SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Los Angeles, CA, US, which is the recorded legal owner on the U.S. registry. The aircraft's build year and serial indicate an early-2000s Global Express production example maintained to long-range business jet standards. No additional public registry events or successive ownership transfers are published in the provided data.

The airframe is configured in a large-cabin, long-range layout commonly arranged in three sections — forward club, mid conference, and aft divan — enabling interior fits for 12–23 pax depending on specific installation; the supplied data lists 23 seats as a capacity figure. Avionics fit for the BD-700 types is typically Honeywell Primus 2000/Primus 2000XP, a system consistent with long-range operational requirements and international compliance. Operational profiles for this airframe center on transcontinental and intercontinental business missions enabled by the 6,100 nm range and high-altitude performance to 51,000 ft; the owner’s base in Los Angeles, CA, US suggests frequent Pacific and transcontinental routings. Maintenance focus for this specific jet would include BR700-series engine programs and avionics checks aligned with the Primus suite.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express occupies the large-cabin long-range business jet niche, characterized by intercontinental range and high cruise speed (488 kts) combined with a high service ceiling (51,000 ft). Within that role, operators value the model for cross-border and transoceanic flexibility delivered by the 6,100 nm range and twin BR700-710A220 engines. Buyer and charter demand for airframes of this vintage typically considers engine program status, avionics currency (noting the Primus 2000/2000XP fit), interior configuration flexibility, and accumulated maintenance records tied to serial 9124 and build year 2003.
