N616DC

This airframe, registered as N616DC, is a 2008-build Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS with serial number 9296. The aircraft is owned by DJW AVIATION III LLC, a corporation based in Monterey, CA, US, and carries United States registration. As a long-range executive jet entering service in the late 2000s, this airframe presents the typical operational history of high-utilization corporate Globals and may have undergone avionics and cabin updates consistent with market practice for its vintage.

The aircraft is offered with a typical three-zone executive cabin configured for 12–16 passengers (forward club, mid conference/dining, aft divan/stateroom), although some operators choose higher-density 20+ seating layouts; this specific airframe lists 23 seats in its data set. Avionics were delivered typically with Honeywell Primus 2000XP, while many Global Express XRS airframes of this vintage have been retrofitted with Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion or similar suites, which affects dispatch reliability and upgrade pathways. Operationally the type is utilized for transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport given its 6,325 nm range and high cruise speed; based on owner location, typical missions could include West Coast domestic hops and trans-Pacific or transcontinental charter or corporate flights. Maintenance considerations for this airframe mirror the model class, with emphasis on engine shop visits for the BR710 series and periodic avionics modernization.

The BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin corporate jet niche, competing with types offering intercontinental reach and four-zone comfort. Its combination of 6,325 nm range, 488 kt cruise and a 51,000 ft ceiling keeps it competitive against newer entrants, though maintenance, older avionics fits, and cabin refurbishment needs drive buyer and charter demand dynamics. Resale and charter market value for a 2008 Global XRS is influenced by engine cycles on the BR700-710A220 engines, avionics retrofit status, and interior condition, all key factors for buyers assessing lifecycle and operating costs.
