N11A2013 Bombardier Global 5000

Overview

This airframe, registered in the United States as N11A, is a 2013-built Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5000 with manufacturer's serial number 9536. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Bank of Utah Trustee, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, Utah, which indicates trust-held ownership rather than a private individual or airline operator. The US registration and trustee ownership suggest the airframe is frequently managed under corporate or financial custodial arrangements rather than retail private listing. Registry summaries list an executive eight-seat configuration, and no alternate operator or commercial operator entry is provided in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured in an executive 8-place layout as reflected in registry and summary records, consistent with long-range business-jet missions emphasizing passenger comfort over high-density seating. Avionics fit is documented as Honeywell Primus-series equipment, with the Primus 2000/2000XP commonly fitted on Global 5000s of this vintage, supporting advanced flight management, navigation, and integrated flight displays. With a 5,200 nm range and a typical cruise near 488 knots, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and transoceanic point-to-point corporate missions; the trustee ownership model may indicate operation by a corporate flight department, charter operator, or management company under arrangement. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow Global 5000 programme norms, including monitoring of the BR700-710A220 turbofan modules and avionics lifecycle for Primus-series suites.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5000 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business-jet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a high operational ceiling of 51,000 ft and substantial cruise speed. Competitors in its class include Gulfstream G450/G500 family members and select Dassault Falcon models, which vie on range, cabin comfort and support networks. Buyer and charter demand for 2013-vintage Global 5000s tend to emphasize mature maintenance records, engine shop visit history for BR700 series powerplants, and avionics upgrade paths for Primus-equipped airframes when assessing resale value or entry into charter service.
