N85D

This airframe, registered as N85D, is a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 9078. The aircraft is owned by Sky Velocity Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Coral Gables, FL, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s registration and current ownership are recorded to Sky Velocity Aviation LLC, and contemporary valuations place the aircraft at $8,000,000, reflecting age and market condition. The aircraft is factory-built by Bombardier Inc and has been operated from its owner’s Florida base for long-range executive transport.

This specific Global Express is certificated for 23 seats and is typically fitted with an executive interior, though the cabin configuration is variable and may be adapted for full VIP, combi, or high-density layouts. Operated from Coral Gables, Florida, the aircraft’s long-range capability supports transcontinental and transoceanic missions well within its 6,100 nm range and at a cruise speed near 488 kts, making it suitable for owner-operator or charter operations on long nonstop sectors. The twin BMW Rolls BR700 series turbofan engines are a core maintenance consideration, with scheduled checks and component life limits influencing direct operating cost and dispatch reliability for this airframe. Certification for 23 seats combined with an executive-fit cabin permits a wide range of mission profiles from corporate transport to group executive charters.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic performance and high cruise capability to compete with contemporaries in the ultra-long-range market. Typical competitors include similarly sized Globals and large-cabin Gulfstream models, with buyer and charter demand driven by range, cabin size, and operating economics. For a 2001-build airframe such as N85D, maintenance hours, engine shop life, and avionics modernization are principal resale and upkeep considerations that inform its $8,000,000 valuation and prospects on the pre-owned market.
