Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N259DS, is a 2001-built Fairchild Dornier Do-328JET-310 with manufacturer serial 3197. The airframe is recorded as owned by CBG LLC, an LLC based in Wilsonville, OR, US, and is registered in the US. Valued at approximately $1,000,000, the airframe’s condition and valuation reflect its early-2000s manufacture and continued role as a commuter-configured regional jet. No additional registry actions beyond the current ownership record are published for this specific airframe.
The aircraft is outfitted in a 34-seat single-class commuter layout, suitable for short-haul regional operations and high-frequency point-to-point services within its 900 nm range. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus / Honeywell IFCS, with operator-fit variations reported, indicating some systems may differ depending on retrofit or operator-selected options. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would leverage its 405 kts cruise speed and 35,000 ft ceiling to perform rapid regional turns; crew and maintenance planning should account for the two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306B powerplants. Cabin amenities are consistent with commuter-level installations, and any unique interior or equipment fit beyond the single-class configuration is not published.
As a Fairchild Dornier Do-328JET-310 airframe, this example occupies a regional commuter niche defined by a 34-seat capacity, relatively high cruise speed, and short-to-medium range capability. Market and resale considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its 2001 manufacture year and the stated $1,000,000 valuation; prospective operators typically weigh retrofit costs, avionics variations, and maintenance status of twin PW306B engines when assessing acquisition. Demand patterns for such fixed-wing multi-engine commuter jets generally favor operators seeking compact regional capacity with jet performance characteristics.
