Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N253XS is a 2007-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 with serial number 20178. The airframe is owned by XS AIR LLC, a corporation based in Tacoma, Washington, United States, and is registered in the US. The Challenger 300 represented by this registration is equipped and configured for executive transport and is assigned an estimated market value of $8,000,000. No public record of multiple owners or significant registry events beyond corporate ownership is included in the source data.
This specific Challenger 300 is fitted internally in a typical 8-place executive double-club layout with forward and aft clubs and an optional divan noted as part of the configuration; seating is arranged to support corporate missions and small-group executive transport. Avionics are specified as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced flight management, communications, and navigation consistent with business-jet operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include medium- to long-range point-to-point executive travel across continental and transcontinental routes within the aircraft’s 3,100 nm range at a cruise speed near 459 kts. Based at its owner’s Tacoma, WA location for administrative purposes, the aircraft’s maintenance considerations would align with Challenger 300 fleet practices for twin-engine turbofans and factory-recommended inspection intervals for AS907-series powerplants.
The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light-medium super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high-speed cruise and a typical executive cabin for eight passengers. Competitors in its class include other super-midsize jets that trade off cabin size, range, and operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine life, avionics fit like Pro Line 21, and completed maintenance records. The listed value of $8,000,000 reflects market positioning for a 2007 Challenger 300 with standard executive outfitting and avionics in corporate service.
