The aircraft is owned by Caterpillar Inc., a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US, and is recorded on the U.S. registry. The airframe entered service in 2012 and has been associated with corporate operations centered on its owner’s Fort Worth location; no additional ownership transfers or notable registry encumbrances are published in the supplied data.

The airframe is typically configured with a flexible executive cabin layout and is commonly fitted for 8–13 passengers, although the model-configurable interior can accommodate up to 23 seats when required. Avionics are typically the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, supporting advanced navigation and systems integration for long-range corporate missions. Operated by Caterpillar Inc. from its Fort Worth, TX location, the aircraft’s 6,000 nm range and 488-knot cruise speed support intercontinental point-to-point business travel profiles. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its twin Rolls-Royce BR700-710A2-20 engines and long-range systems common to the Global 6000 series; scheduled inspections and OEM-supported shop visits are typical for operators maintaining high availability.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 represented by N797CT occupies the long-range corporate jet segment with a 6,000 nm capability and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, offering transcontinental and intercontinental mission flexibility. Its performance and cabin flexibility make it suitable for corporate flight departments seeking range and passenger comfort within a large-cabin platform. Market considerations for this airframe include engine maintenance cycles for the BR700 series, avionics commonality with Pro Line Fusion-equipped fleets, and residual value dynamics consistent with a 2012-build, mid-life Global 6000 valued at roughly $26,000,000.
