N257PL

This article covers airframe N257PL, a British Aerospace-built midsize business/charter jet delivered in 1990 with serial number 258167. The airframe is a British Aerospace BAe 125 Series 800A registered in the US and documented in corporate ownership by TAVAERO JET CHARTER CORP, located in Houston, TX, US. The airframe’s ownership is recorded as corporate charter use based in Houston. Valuation and specific condition reports for this individual airframe are Not published.

The cabin is configured in a 14-seat high-density executive/charter layout, reflecting a role focused on passenger charter or high-density executive transport rather than pure corporate luxury appointments. Operated by TAVAERO JET CHARTER CORP out of Houston, TX, US, the airframe’s performance figures—430 kts cruise and 2,470 nm range—support short to medium-haul charter missions, including cross‑country U.S. flights and regional international hops from a Gulf Coast base. Crew, avionics fit, and specific interior amenities for this serial are Not published; maintenance considerations derive from the twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR-2C installation, which dictates engine shop cycles and logistic support typical for late-1980s/1990s BAe 125 airframes.

The British Aerospace BAe 125 Series 800A represented British Aerospace’s late‑generation midsize business jet offering, and this particular airframe combines twin TFE731 series turbofans with a 41,000 ft service ceiling and a 14‑seat high-density cabin, positioning it for charter operators prioritizing seat capacity within a midsize performance envelope. With a delivered thrust rating of 4,750 lbf per engine and a 2,470 nm range, the airframe targets operators needing efficient regional stage lengths rather than ultra-long-range nonstop capability. For owners and buyers, maintenance and resale considerations hinge on engine life cycles, avionics standardization, and the airframe’s configured seat density, while specific condition and market valuation for N257PL remain Not published.
