Model & Market Context
This entry describes airframe N650GK, a Bombardier Challenger 650 built in 2016 with serial number 6065. The aircraft is owned by GEKABI AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in The Woodlands, TX, US, and is registered in the US as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine airplane. FAA registry listings identify the airframe with a 22‑seat configuration, and current market valuation for this specific airframe is reported at $21,000,000. No additional operator transfers or notable incidents are recorded in the supplied data.
The cabin of this Bombardier Challenger 650 follows the typical 9–13 passenger executive layout for the model, while the FAA registry for N650GK lists 22 seats, indicating a higher certification or seating configuration on the record. Typical avionics fit for this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 21 suite with an AFD-5220E display option, consistent with operator expectations for long‑range business jet missions. With a cruise speed of 459 kts and a maximum range of 4,000 nm, the aircraft is well suited for transcontinental and some transoceanic point‑to‑point executive transport flown from its home base in The Woodlands, TX. Maintenance and operations for this particular airframe reflect standard Challenger 650 practices for twin CF34 powerplants and Pro Line avionics common to the fleet.
The Bombardier Challenger 650 occupies the large‑cabin super‑midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range and cabin comfort. Competing models in the category include late‑generation Gulfstream G150/G280 variants and offerings from Dassault and Embraer; the Challenger’s cabin size and 4,000 nm range remain key selling points. Buyer and charter demand typically target owners valuing cabin volume and range, while maintenance and resale considerations center on CF34 engine support, avionics upgrades (e.g., Pro Line 21 lifecycle), and documented configuration such as the registry‑listed 22 seats that can affect valuation and mission flexibility.
