N888YC

This article concerns airframe N888YC, a 1999-built Bombardier Challenger 604 (serial number 5402) manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US. The aircraft carries the US registration and serial records that tie it to the CL-600-2B16 production batch for 1999; any notable registry actions are limited to standard US corporate ownership filings. Valuation estimates place this specific Challenger 604 at approximately $6,000,000, reflecting market condition and the type’s age and configuration.

As configured for corporate or charter service, N888YC supports up to 22 seats, enabling mixed seating layouts typical of Challenger 604 airframes that balance passenger capacity and cabin comfort for medium- to long-range missions. The aircraft’s 4,000 nm range and cruise speed of 436 knots make it suitable for transcontinental and long overwater sectors operated from the owner’s North Salt Lake base. Avionics and interior fit are consistent with late-1990s Challenger 604 standards; specific supplemental equipment or modern upgrades are not published in the provided data. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe follow the family’s common inspections and support requirements given its twin GE CF34-3B turbofan engines and 1999 manufacture date.

The Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin, long-range business jet, offering a higher passenger count and cabin volume than many light or midsize competitors while remaining less costly than ultra-long-range types. Comparable models in the market include late-model Gulfstream and Bombardier derivatives, with buyer and charter demand historically tied to cabin size, range, and operating cost balance. For a 1999 airframe like N888YC, resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on engine shop visit status, avionics refreshes, and interior reconfiguration history, factors that strongly influence the cited $6,000,000 valuation.
