Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N604BB, is a 2004-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 with manufacturer serial number 5582. It is owned by the corporation MA AVIATION LLC, based in Fargo, ND, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s operator and home base align with the owner’s location; no public record of other ownership transfers or major registry actions is published. Valuation and detailed condition records are not published for this specific airframe.
The cabin of this Challenger 604 is fitted in a typical executive layout, accommodating 9–12 passenger executive seating under its standard fit, while the type certificate allows higher seating configurations; the specific interior finish and amenities for N604BB reflect owner/operator configurations customary to corporate operations. The airframe is commonly employed on transcontinental and long-range corporate missions consistent with a 4,000 nm range and long cruise legs at approximately 459 kts, operating from its base in Fargo and regional U.S. hubs. Avionics on this airframe conform to the series-standard Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting advanced flight management, navigation and communications typical for business jet operation. Routine maintenance considerations include CF34-3B engine support and Challenger-series structural inspections as part of corporate flight department programs.
The Bombardier Challenger 604 family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with robust twin CF34 powerplants and a high operational ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in this segment typically include Gulfstream G200/G280 and late-model large-cabin midsize jets; buyers and charter operators value the 604 for cabin volume and range relative to acquisition and operating costs. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2004 Challenger 604 like N604BB focus on engine program status, avionics standardization (Collins Pro Line 4), and documented maintenance history, all of which materially affect marketability in the pre-owned corporate jet market.
