Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N68KP, is a 2021-built Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 / Global 6500 bearing serial number 60044. The aircraft is recorded on the U.S. registry and is held in trust by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, Delaware. Documentation for this airframe indicates factory delivery in 2021 and ongoing trustee ownership; operator and specific home-base details are recorded under U.S. registration filings. No public record of notable incidents or extraordinary registry actions appears in the supplied data.
The airframe is outfitted with a large-cabin executive layout normally arranged for 12–16 main passengers with lounge/dining zones and a full galley, while registration data cites a maximum seating capability of 23 seats for flexible configurations. Avionics fit is variant-dependent and may include Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion or Bombardier Vision, supporting advanced situational awareness and long-range flight operations. Typical missions for this Global-series airframe include intercontinental point-to-point executive transport across oceanic routes enabled by its 6,000 nm range and high-altitude cruise profile to FL510. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft follow Global 6000/6500 program schedules and Rolls‑Royce BR700 family engine shop visit intervals; trustee ownership can influence maintenance planning and certification record access during ownership transitions.
The BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 / Global 6500 sits in the large-cabin ultra-long-range business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability, high cruise speed and generous cabin volume attractive to corporate flight departments and charter operators. Competitors include other ultra-long-range types that balance range, cabin size and operating economics; buyer demand typically favors late-production, low-cycle examples such as this 2021 airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe and engine time, avionics variant (Pro Line Fusion vs Bombardier Vision), and the impact of trust ownership on title transfer and escrow processes.
