N65WL

This article covers airframe N65WL, a Bombardier-built business jet completed in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 9089. The airframe is listed as owned by WILLIS LEASE FINANCE CORP, a corporation based in Coconut Creek, FL, US, and carries a US registration. Registry records and valuation summaries cite a current estimated value of $10,000,000, reflecting its age and configuration as a 2001-built Global Express. The aircraft is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and, per available data, remains in executive configuration capable of transporting up to 23 passengers.

The cabin of N65WL is an executive layout, configured for up to 23 passengers, indicating a high-density executive or corporate shuttle fit rather than a standard small-cabin business jet. With a long-range capability of 6,125 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 488 knots, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and intercontinental missions without intermediate stops. The twin BR700-710A220 powerplants, each rated at 14,750 lbf, define the aircraft’s performance and maintenance profile; lifecycle and overhaul considerations for these engines are central to operational planning for a 2001 airframe. Ownership by WILLIS LEASE FINANCE CORP suggests the airframe may be managed, leased, or placed with operators from its Coconut Creek, Florida base, consistent with its US registration.

This airframe is a member of the Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express family, a long-range, high-capacity executive jet platform as reflected by its 6,125 nm range, 51,000 ft ceiling, and up-to-23 passenger executive cabin. The combination of twin BR700-710A220 engines and the aircraft’s performance metrics positions it in the long-range corporate transport niche for operators requiring non-stop intercontinental capability. The listed value of $10,000,000 on a 2001 serial (9089) highlights typical market and resale considerations for early-2000s Global Express airframes, where airframe age, engine status, and interior configuration materially affect valuation.
