N421AL

The airframe bearing tail number N421AL is a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express built in 2000, serial 9051, and registered in the United States. The registered owner is listed as WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, DE, US, and the aircraft appears on U.S. civil registers under that corporate ownership. The airframe’s recorded valuation is $8,636,247, reflecting its status as a large-cabin, long-range executive transport of its vintage. No other operator or home-base entries are published in the provided registry data.

This specific Global Express is outfitted in a typical three‑zone executive configuration: a forward club seating area, a mid-cabin conference section, and an aft divan; registry entries show 23 seats though the type commonly accommodates approximately 12–23 seats depending on interior fit. Avionics are recorded as the Honeywell Primus 2000XP typical fit, supporting advanced flight management and long-range navigation. With a maximum range of 6,100 nm and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft at a cruise of 488 kts, the airframe is configured for intercontinental executive missions, including transoceanic and transcontinental flights. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with large-cabin business jets powered by BR710 turbofans and integrated Honeywell avionics, with periodic engine shop visits and avionics updates typical for continued operational readiness.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express family occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental performance and high cruise speeds as exemplified by this airframe’s 6,100 nm range and 488 kt cruise. Demand among corporate and fractional operators tends to favor airframes with well-documented maintenance histories and comprehensive interiors; the registered 23-seat fit and corporate trustee ownership of this unit suggest use in corporate, charter, or trust-held operator models. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (9051, year 2000) emphasize BR710 engine maintenance cycles, avionics currency for the Primus 2000XP, and interior refurbishment when marketed to new buyers.
