Model & Market Context

The airframe N959KF is a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6500 manufactured by Bombardier Inc., completed in 2024 with serial number 60120. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by KW FLIGHT LLC, a corporate owner based in Bozeman, Montana. The U.S. registry lists a seating configuration of 23 and notes standard certification entries for a new-production executive transport; the airframe carries an estimated market value of $56,000,000. Maintenance status and recent registry actions are limited to the recorded build and ownership entry for this operator; delivery to KW FLIGHT LLC in 2024 is the principal notable ownership event on record.

The airframe is configured with a typical executive cabin layout and the registry indicates 23 seats, while market descriptions of the model often reference a comfortable executive arrangement for approximately 14–17 passengers; this disparity is reflected in the aircraft’s paperwork. Avionics are fitted with the Bombardier Vision flight deck and available options include a Combined Vision System, HUD and high-speed SATCOM, consistent with long-range executive missions. Operated from Bozeman, MT by KW FLIGHT LLC, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point charters or corporate transport, leveraging its 6,600 nm range and long-field capability. Maintenance planning follows manufacturer schedules for the Rolls‑Royce Pearl 15 engines and is influenced by the aircraft’s high-value asset status and new-production build year.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6500 occupies the long-range ultra-long-range business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise speeds as reflected by this airframe’s 488 kt cruise and 6,600 nm range. Competing models typically include other ultra-long-range types aimed at corporate and charter buyers; demand favors newer, well-equipped examples with modern avionics suites such as Vision and SATCOM options. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2024-built aircraft center on upkeep of Rolls‑Royce Pearl 15 engines and retention of factory avionics options, with market valuation supported by the fresh build status and documented ownership by KW FLIGHT LLC.
