N916MM

This entry covers airframe N916MM, a Bombardier-built long-range business jet completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 60097. The aircraft is a factory-built Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6500 owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee (corporation) based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US. There are no publicly noted changes of operator recorded in the supplied data; the trustee ownership suggests corporate or trust-held stewardship rather than direct individual operation. Valuation information for this specific airframe is listed at $56,000,000, reflecting current-market assessment for a new-build Global 6500 in typical VIP configuration.

The airframe is fitted in a typical VIP executive layout accommodating 14–17 passengers, with a forward galley, forward crew lavatory and aft lavatory and flexible cabin plans that support conference, divan, or private suite options tailored to owner specifications. Flight deck fit is the Bombardier Vision system with four large displays, with optional upgrades such as HUD and a Combined Vision System available for enhanced situational awareness. Given its long-range capability of 6,600 nm and high cruise speed of 488 kts, this airframe is well-suited to intercontinental point-to-point missions and corporate transport where trust-held ownership often delegates operation to professional flight departments or charter management companies. Maintenance and operations reflect typical Global 6500 considerations, including support for advanced Pearl 15 engines and factory avionics integration.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6500 occupies the long-range ultra-large-cabin market niche, offering transoceanic capability paired with a high operational ceiling of 51,000 ft and modern Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 propulsion. Competing models in this performance and cabin class include later-model Gulfstream G500/G600 variants and Dassault Falcon 7X/8X derivatives, with buyer and charter demand focused on range, cabin flexibility, and avionics sophistication. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2023 airframe center on upkeep of the Pearl 15 engines, factory avionics serviceability, and the impact of VIP interior customization on residual value; trustee ownership can influence transfer processes and title-clearance due diligence.
