N88EL

The airframe bearing registration N88EL is a Raytheon-built Premier I (Premier IA) business jet with manufacturer serial RB-157. Build year and several early registry milestones are not published for this specific tail, though the airframe currently shows a corporate ownership record. The aircraft is held by the corporation FRONT RANGE RADIATION ONCOLOGY PC, based in Littleton, CO, US, reflecting its use in a private corporate transport role. Its reported market valuation stands at $2,000,000, a figure that highlights the airframe's position as an older light corporate jet where condition and avionics fit drive price.

The cabin for this Premier IA is configured in a typical executive layout accommodating 6–8 passengers with club seating, a forward divan and an optional belted lavatory, providing flexibility between passenger comfort and payload. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern navigation, communications and flight management capabilities appropriate to short-to-medium corporate missions. Based in Littleton, Colorado, the operator profile and the aircraft's range of 1,100 nm make it suited to regional hops across the western United States and business routes to major hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect the Williams FJ44-2A engine commonality and the service history tied to its corporate operation, with cabin options and avionics upgrades materially affecting survivability and residual value.

The Raytheon 390 Premier I (Premier IA) family occupies the light, entry-level executive jet niche focused on speed and cabin comfort for short-to-midrange missions. With cruise speeds near 369 kts and a service ceiling to 41,000 ft, it competes against light jets from manufacturers such as Cessna and Embraer in used markets. Buyer and charter demand for examples like N88EL hinges on interior condition, avionics standardization (in this case Collins Pro Line 21) and engine cycles on the Williams FJ44-2A powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations concentrate on refurbishment costs, the availability of parts for the Williams engines and the impact of any optional cabin features on overall marketability.
