Model & Market Context
This specific airframe, registered as N551SW, is a 2001-built Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express bearing manufacturer serial 9086. The airframe is recorded as owned by SN 9086 LLC (an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US), and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe carries FAA certification for up to 23 passenger seats, while market and operator listings commonly show lower executive layouts; its current estimated market value is $9,000,000. There are no additional public records in this dataset of other ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the listed owner and certification details.
The airframe is fitted with an executive multi-zone cabin; operator listings typically exhibit an approximate 14-passenger executive layout despite the FAA-certified seating of 23. Avionics equipment noted for the airframe family and retrofit history includes Honeywell Primus 2000 / Primus 2000XP, with actual fit varying by individual retrofit histories on this specific serial. Typical mission profiles for this airframe in operator use combine long-range intercontinental transport and corporate or charter operations enabled by a 6,125 nm range and a high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations for this particular airframe would align with large-cabin long-range business jet norms, with avionics retrofit variability and interior reconfiguration being principal factors affecting dispatch availability and market positioning.
The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental range and high cruise speeds. Competing models typically include other long-range heavy bizjets in similar mission classes; buyer and charter demand favors airframes with updated avionics and executive interiors, while resale considerations hinge on documented maintenance, interior configuration versus FAA-certified seating, and lifecycle costs of twin Rolls‑Royce BR700 powerplants. The listed estimated value of $9,000,000 for this 2001 serial reflects age, configuration variability, and market conditions for this class.
