N240CK

The airframe registered as N240CK is a Dassault Falcon 20C-5 built in 1966, manufacturer serial number 24. The airframe is owned by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC, an LLC based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, and it remains on the United States registry. The record shows this single corporate operator/owner relationship; no additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied dataset.

The aircraft is registered with a 12-seat cabin configuration per the registration record, consistent with the upper end of typical Falcon 20 interiors; typical Falcon 20 layouts range from 8–12 passengers depending on interior fit. Operated by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC out of its Ypsilanti, Michigan base, the Falcon 20C-5 layout and performance suit short to medium-range charter and corporate operations within a U.S. domestic network, where its 1,780 nm range and 405 kt cruise enable point-to-point missions without the need for frequent technical stops. Specific avionics fit, cabin furnishings, and unique amenities for this airframe are not published in the provided data. Maintenance considerations for a late-1960s airframe include age-related structural inspections and component upgrades common to legacy Falcon fleets, though no aircraft-specific maintenance history was supplied.

The Dassault Falcon 20C-5 occupies a niche as an early generation corporate business jet offering transregional capability with a relatively high cruise speed for its era. Powered by two Garrett TFE731 series turbofans producing 3,500 lbf each, it competes historically with other light-to-mid-size jets of the 1960s–1970s in terms of cruise and range performance. Demand in the used and charter market typically favors well-maintained examples with updated avionics and interiors; resale and ongoing operational costs reflect the need for aging-airframe inspections and potential upgrades. The airframe’s 12-seat certification and U.S. registration make it well-suited to niche charter operators and corporate fleets focused on short- to medium-haul missions.
