Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N244CK, is a 1977-build Dassault Falcon 20 (Fan Jet Falcon) with manufacturer serial number 369. The jet is owned by KALITTA AIR LLC, an LLC based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, which serves as the registered operator and home base for record purposes. The airframe's configuration and operator assignment reflect use in corporate charter and light cargo-adapted roles typical for Falcon 20s; current ownership by KALITTA AIR LLC represents the principal known registry entry for this airframe. No separate public valuation or notable registry actions beyond the recorded ownership and registration are provided in the available data.
The cabin of this airframe is configured in a typical operator-dependent layout that supports 8–12 passenger / light-cargo layout, allowing flexibility between passenger carriage and light freight missions. With seating for 12, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range corporate or charter hops and utility transport tasks, consistent with the capabilities of its Honeywell TFE-731 turbofan pair. Based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, the operator can deploy the jet on domestic missions within the contiguous United States or on transregional sectors up to the aircraft's published range of 1,808 nm. Maintenance considerations reflect the classic Falcon 20 lineage: airframe and engine support are operator-dependent and driven by the turbofan series and aging airframe systems typical of a 1977-build jet.
The Dassault Falcon 20 (Fan Jet Falcon) family occupies a market niche as a light, twin-engine business jet capable of mixed passenger and light-cargo roles; its cruise speed of 405 kts and ceiling of 42,000 ft make it competitive among vintage light jets. Competing models historically include other late-1970s light twins that balance payload and range for charter and corporate operators. Buyer and charter demand for this airframe type often hinges on maintenance history, avionics upgrades, and the availability of support for the Honeywell TFE-731 powerplants. Resale and operational considerations for this specific airframe center on its 1977 build year, serial 369, and the current ownership by KALITTA AIR LLC, which will influence configuration, dispatch reliability, and mission profile.
