N488CR

This airframe, registered as N488CR, is a Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) completed in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 6140. The aircraft is owned by LASAI AVIATION LLC of Manassas, VA, US, and carries a United States civil registration (US). Built by Bombardier Inc., this late-model Challenger 650 reflects the factory configuration and equipment fit typical of the type and, as a 2019 delivery, sits within a contemporary maintenance and avionics standard for the fleet. No additional registry events or ownership transfers are published beyond the listed ownership and registration.

The cabin of this specific Challenger 650 follows the typical factory executive layout, a 9–12-place arrangement that in practice supports up to 22 seats in various configurations for mixed passenger/cargo or high-density missions. Avionics aboard are fitted with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities and facilitating long-range IFR operations consistent with the type’s mission profile. Operated from Manassas, VA, US by its owner-operator, the airframe is suited to long-range executive transport, transcontinental hops, and point-to-point charter missions within the Challenger 650’s roughly 4,000 nm range and its 41,000 ft service ceiling. Maintenance considerations align with the Challenger family’s twin CF34 turbofan architecture and avionics support requirements.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the upper light/large-cabin business jet niche, offering extended-range performance and a high-speed cruise of 459 kts for intercity and transcontinental missions. Competing in a market segment where buyers value cabin comfort, range, and modern avionics, aircraft like N488CR appeal to owner-operators and charter operators seeking a balance of payload and range. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect its relatively recent 2019 manufacture date, twin GE CF34-3B engine commonality, and the Pro Line 21 avionics suite, factors that influence operator lifecycle costs and market liquidity.
