N457AY

The airframe bearing tail number N457AY is a 2020-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and bearing serial number 20851. The aircraft is owned by AIX FUSION LLC, an LLC based in Scottsdale, AZ, US, and has been maintained on the U.S. registry. Registered to AIX FUSION LLC in Scottsdale, Arizona, this specific Challenger 350 is noted in records as a late-production 2020 example with modern avionics and full executive fit. Current valuation records list the airframe at approximately $18,000,000, reflecting its recent manufacture date and standard market condition for this model.

The cabin of N457AY is outfitted in a typical 8-place executive double-club configuration with a forward galley and aft lavatory; a belted lavatory seat option is recorded as available for this airframe. Avionics are specified as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 advanced fit typical for this model, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities and integrated flight management for business-jet missions. Operated from its U.S. registration and based with its owner in Scottsdale, Arizona, the aircraft profile supports medium- to long-range executive transport missions, point-to-point corporate travel, and charter operations within North America. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Honeywell AS907-2-1A powerplants and the Challenger 350’s standard heavy-component support, with life-limited items and avionics checks consistent with a 2020 airframe.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 sits in the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and high-speed cruise performance relative to light-cabin competitors. Typical rivals include other super-midsize platforms that balance cabin comfort for eight passengers with a 3,000+ nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling capability. Buyer and charter demand for well-equipped, late-model 350s remains centered on low-hour examples with Pro Line 21 avionics and documented maintenance; resale considerations for this airframe reflect its 2020 vintage, complete executive interior, and up-to-date avionics suite. Maintenance tracking and component life limits for the Honeywell AS907 series and typical Challenger 350 structural inspections will be key factors in valuation and time-on-market.
