Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N79CG, a Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) built by Bombardier Inc. in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 5576. The aircraft is registered in the US and is listed as owned by C&G DESTINATIONS LLC (an LLC based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US). Registry/listing records indicate both VIP and higher-density seating arrangements, and current market valuation is approximately $6,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration options, and maintenance status as recorded.
The airframe is typically configured for VIP transport with a cabin layout normally accommodating 10–12 pax, while registry/listing information also records a higher-density configuration of 22 seats for different operational roles. Avionics fit is the class-typical Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4, supporting standard Challenger 604 navigation, communication, and flight-management capabilities. Operated out of Fort Lauderdale, FL by the listed owner-operator entity, missions generally encompass transcontinental and medium-long range executive transport consistent with the Challenger 604’s 4,033 nm range and high single-pilot-cruise performance. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include monitoring age-related component serviceability and CF34-3B engine program compliance, factors that influence availability and valuation.
The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a 41,000 ft ceiling suitable for optimized fuel-burn and passenger comfort. Competing types include later-generation large-cabin jets and long-range derivatives from Gulfstream and Dassault, though the Challenger 604 remains attractive for operators prioritizing cabin volume and lower acquisition cost. Buyer and charter demand for a 2004 airframe such as N79CG is shaped by configuration flexibility (VIP vs. 22-seat), the installed Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite, and ongoing CF34-3B engine support — all significant factors in maintenance expense and resale prospects.
