Overview

This airframe, registered as N117SW, is a 2024-built Bombardier Global 6500 (BD-700-1A10) manufactured by Bombardier Inc. bearing serial number 60135. The aircraft is owned by Sierra Charter Title LLC, an LLC based in Las Vegas, NV, US, and is registered in the US; ownership is recorded to an LLC rather than an individual operator. Registry and valuation notes indicate a high-spec VIP executive airframe intended for charter or corporate use out of its Nevada owner base.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Global 6500 is fitted in a VIP executive layout with a multi-zone arrangement typical of the type: a forward club, a conference/dining area, and an aft private suite, matching high-end charter and corporate transport missions. Flight operations are supported by the Global Vision flight deck (Global Vision Flight Deck), providing integrated avionics, situational awareness and long-range IFR capability for transcontinental and intercontinental routings. Typical missions for N117SW will include long-range business and charter flights from its Nevada ownership base to international and domestic hubs within the aircraft’s 6,600 nm range, capitalizing on its high-speed cruise and 51,000 ft service ceiling. Maintenance considerations follow factory schedules for the BR700-710D series and Global 6500 airframe support programs, with an emphasis on ensuring VIP-cabin systems and finishes are maintained to charter-grade standards.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier Global 6500 (BD-700-1A10) occupies the ultra-long-range business jet niche with a blend of transcontinental reach and large cabin comfort, positioning it against rivals such as other ultra-long-range platforms from Gulfstream and Dassault. Its twin Rolls-Royce BR700-710D521 engines deliver the thrust and efficiency needed for long overwater sectors while supporting high cruise speeds, a key demand driver for charter clients and corporate flight departments. Buyer and charter demand for VIP-fitted Global 6500 examples emphasizes cabin configuration, range capability and avionics modernity; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine program enrollment, avionics updates under the Global Vision standard, and retention of the high-spec VIP interior installed in serial 60135.
