Model & Market Context
This airframe, N548DD, is a 1997-built Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Challenger 850 with serial number 7176. The registry shows current ownership by MODA AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Woodbury, NY, US; the listed operator/home base aligns with that ownership. The US registration and corporate ownership indicate typical private or charter operation rather than airline service. The airframe's market valuation is recorded at $9,800,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and remaining utility in the charter and corporate markets.
The registry lists a 55-seat airline configuration for this airframe; typical Challenger 850 VIP completions, by contrast, are fitted with 12–16 executive seats along with a forward galley and an aft full lavatory, indicating this specific aircraft could either be maintained in an airline-style layout or reconverted for executive transport. Avionics for the type are commonly the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite (typical fit for the model, with units varying by conversion/completion), which supports long-range charter and corporate operations. Typical mission profiles for this Challenger 850 include transcontinental and regional charters that leverage its ~3,100 nm range and 442-knot cruise, operating from the owner’s New York area base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe will track CF34-3B1 lifecycle items and certification/completion status depending on whether the 55-seat configuration is retained or a VIP interior conversion has been performed.
The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Challenger 850 occupies a niche as a large-cabin, long-range business/charter jet derived from regional airliner roots, offering seating capacity and cabin volume above typical business jets. Competing models in the market include converted regional jets and large-cabin business jets that balance passenger capacity with range. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor well-maintained, lower-cycle airframes or those with VIP completions; resale considerations for this 1997 airframe include age-related avionics and interior refurbishment, CF34 engine shop visit status, and the chosen 55-seat versus executive cabin configuration.
