Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N981CC, is a 2008-built Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express with manufacturer's serial number 9316. The aircraft is owned by Carrington Aviation (a corporation) and carries a United States registration; it was registered in the United States under that corporate ownership. The airframe’s registry and serial linkage confirm its place within Bombardier’s late-2000s Global Express production run, and its condition and valuation are consistent with long-range business jets of its vintage when maintained to OEM standards. Notable entry-in-service or transfer events are limited in the provided data to the single corporate ownership recorded.
The airframe’s seating for 23 indicates a high-density or flexible executive/corporate interior layout specific to this aircraft rather than a sparse ferry configuration. Typical missions for this airframe are long-range intercontinental flights enabled by the 5,940 nm range and high-altitude operations up to 51,000 ft, supported by the twin Rolls-Royce BR700-710A220 engines. As owned by Carrington Aviation, operational control is likely aligned with corporate flight department practices; the aircraft’s fit and maintenance considerations would follow Bombardier’s Global-level scheduled heavy checks and engine shop visit cycles. Avionics and interior specifics are not published in the supplied data.
The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express family occupies the long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental and transoceanic capability reflected in this airframe’s 5,940 nm range and cruise of 504 kts. Competing models in its class include other ultra-long-range business jets that emphasize similar cabin capacity and high cruise altitudes. Buyer and charter demand for a 2008 Global Express like N981CC centers on operators seeking proven long-range performance; maintenance and resale considerations focus on engine hours, heavy inspection status, and interior reconfiguration potential given the aircraft’s 23-seat capability.
