Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N48WG, a 2004-built Bombardier BD-700 Global Express, serial 9148, registered in the US and held by ALLIANCE AVIATION GROUP LLC of Wilmington, DE. The airframe’s recorded ownership is singular in the provided data, with registration and operational control residing with the Wilmington-based LLC. Not published: public valuation and recent condition reports are not provided in the supplied dataset. No additional notable registry actions or prior operators are listed for this specific airframe in the supplied material.
This specific Global Express is described with a typical executive cabin layout — commonly configured for 8–16 passengers in industry practice — while this airframe’s stated capacity is 23 seats, indicating a higher-density or mixed configuration may be used for different mission profiles. The cabin fit includes a forward galley, a lounge/conference area, and stateroom options as typical for the BD-700 family, and avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus 2000XP (typical for BD-700 variants). Typical operations for an airframe with a 6,150 nm range and a cruise of 487 kts include long-range intercontinental executive transport, transoceanic charters, and corporate shuttle missions; operator base is Wilmington, DE per the owner record. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow BR700-series engine support requirements and Honeywell avionics commonality in the BD-700 fleet.
The Bombardier BD-700 Global Express family occupies the long-range large-cabin business-jet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a 51,000 ft ceiling and long-range cruise performance. Competitors in this segment include other ultra-long-range business jets from manufacturers such as Gulfstream and Dassault; buyer and charter demand typically targets operators requiring non-stop intercontinental range and large-cabin comfort. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on BR700 engine support status, avionics obsolescence or upgrades for Honeywell Primus 2000XP systems, and interior reconfiguration potential given the disparity between listed 23 seats and the typical 8–16 executive layouts.
