N97DQ

This entry covers airframe N97DQ, a Bombardier-built business jet completed in 2020 with serial number 70051. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by Duquesne Global LLC, a New York, NY-based corporation; the registration and corporate ownership establish its primary operator/administrative base in New York. The airframe is a factory-produced example of the Global 7500 family and carries an estimated market valuation of $70,000,000. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current corporate registration.

The airframe configured as delivered provides a multi-zone cabin described for the model as four living zones; the registration for this specific example lists 22 seats while typical executive layouts range from 14–19 seats. Avionics fitted to this airframe are the Bombardier Vision flight deck, featuring advanced fly-by-wire controls along with HUD, EVS, SVS and graphical flight planning systems, supporting high-automation operation and enhanced situational awareness. Operational missions for this configuration are consistent with long-range executive transport, leveraging the 7,700 nm range and high cruise speed of 488 kts to support transoceanic non-stop sectors; the New York corporate registration indicates frequent transcontinental and international routing potential. Maintenance considerations align with factory support for the Global 7500 and GE Passport powerplants, with component-level servicing and avionics updates as primary recurring requirements.

This airframe is an example of the Bombardier BD-700-2A12 Global 7500 family, positioned in the ultra-long-range business jet segment with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and cruise performance competitive for nonstop intercontinental missions. Peer competitors in the marketplace typically include other ultra-long-range business jets; buyer demand for this class emphasizes range, cabin comfort across four zones, and advanced avionics such as the Bombardier Vision suite installed on N97DQ. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the cost and availability of support for GE Passport engines and high-end integrated avionics, factors that contribute to the aircraft’s valuation at $70,000,000.
