Typical missions for this airframe under corporate ownership would be long-range executive transport given its 4,119 nm range and cruise of 459 kts; the owner’s base in Huntersville, NC suggests regional and transcontinental corporate missions. Maintenance considerations specific to this aircraft align with mid-size business jets powered by the GE CF34-3B engines and depend on corporate hangar and support arrangements at the operator’s location.

The Canadair Ltd CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 occupies the mid-to-long-range corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental performance with a ceiling of 41,000 ft and a range of 4,119 nm. Competing models in its era include other large-cabin business jets that balance passenger comfort and range; buyer and charter demand typically target operators needing executive transport with robust cabin space. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1998 build year, engine type (GE CF34-3B), avionics suite (Collins Pro Line family), and the recorded valuation of $6,000,000, which together inform lifecycle and upgrade decisions such as avionics modernization or interior refurbishment.
