N97AK

This airframe, registered as N97AK, is a 2014-built Bombardier business jet of serial number 9627, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is recorded in the U.S. registry and is owned by the corporation OCTOBER HOLDINGS LLC of Boston, MA, US, which operates it as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine executive transport. The airframe is configured in an eight‑seat executive layout and carries an estimated market value of $15,000,000. Ownership by OCTOBER HOLDINGS LLC is the principal documented registry entry associated with this specific airframe.

The cabin of N97AK follows a typical three‑zone executive layout with a forward club, mid conference/club and aft lounge/berth arrangement; the registry shows an eight‑seat executive fitment consistent with corporate transport and long‑range mission profiles. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus 2000XP, while many Global 5000 airframes have received avionics modernization on retrofit, which can include Pro Line Fusion/Global Vision upgrades — such retrofits are common considerations for operators looking to extend avionics service life. With a long‑range capability of 5,200 nm and a cruise speed near 488 kts, this airframe is typically employed for transcontinental and intercontinental executive missions from its Boston, MA owner base, and its operation emphasizes range, cabin flexibility and high‑altitude cruise. Maintenance considerations generally reflect the Global 5000’s twin‑engine Rolls‑Royce BR710 powerplant support and Executive completion servicing cycles.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5000 occupies the long‑range, large‑cabin niche among purpose‑built corporate business jets, offering transoceanic range without the size and operating costs of ultra‑heavy class types. Primary competition in mission and payload includes late‑model variants of other long‑range business jets; fleet demand typically favors airframes with updated avionics and well‑documented maintenance histories. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2014 Global 5000 center on engine support for the Rolls‑Royce BR710A2-20, completion condition of the three‑zone cabin and whether avionics modernization has been performed, all factors that influence value around the noted $15,000,000 estimate.
