N71FA

The airframe bearing registration N71FA is a factory-new Bombardier Challenger 3500 built by Bombardier Inc. in 2023, serial number 20977. The aircraft is listed in corporate ownership by Regions Bank (corporation); no public home base or additional operator history has been published. Delivered as a recent production example in 2023, the airframe carries a manufacturer-standard configuration and was valued at approximately $27,000,000 at time of data capture. Registry-specific actions beyond initial delivery and corporate ownership have not been published.

This specific Challenger 3500 is reported with a 9‑place executive layout in its cabin, consistent with operator sightings and a corporate transport role for Regions Bank. Avionics fit follows manufacturer specification with an advanced four‑display suite; autothrottle is standard and HUD/EVS are offered as optional equipment. Typical mission profiles for the airframe, given its 3,400 nm range and long‑range business‑jet configuration, center on extended single‑leg corporate or executive flights that capitalize on its high‑altitude capability to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect standard type support and upkeep for twin Honeywell HTF7350 turbofans and the integrated avionics suite; no unique retrofit or interior modification records have been published.

As an example of the Challenger 3500 family, this airframe embodies the platform’s long‑range, high‑ceiling niche within the light‑large business jet segment, pairing a typical 9‑seat executive cabin with transcontinental capability. The disclosed valuation of $27,000,000 situates this factory‑new example within the new‑build price band for its class and is a primary consideration for corporate buyers and fleet operators assessing acquisition cost versus mission capability. Engine commonality and the standardized avionics fit support predictable maintenance cycles and resale comparability among peer airframes of the same build vintage.
