Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N117QS, is a Bombardier Global 5000 (BD-700-1A11) completed in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 9777. It is held by NETJETS SALES INC (a corporation (co-ownership)) based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is entered on the US civil registry. The combination of a mid-decade build year and ownership by a major fractional operator suggests operation under a structured maintenance program and frequent utilization consistent with shared ownership fleets. Co-ownership by a corporate NetJets entity is the most notable ownership characteristic recorded for this airframe.
The cabin layout for this airframe is a typical eight-place executive club, noted as 8-place executive club layout with forward galley and forward/aft lavatory provisions, supporting executive transport and long-range point-to-point missions. Avionics are installed to the Global-family typical fit, listed as Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, providing integrated flight management and situational awareness common to the type. With a design range of 5,200 nm and cruise speed near 488 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and transoceanic missions commonly flown by fractional-ownership operators based from Oklahoma City, OK, US. The forward galley and lavatory provisions support in-flight service on extended sectors and align with frequent-turn usage patterns of co-owned business jets.
The BD-700-1A11 Global 5000 family occupies the long-range, high-speed business jet niche, demonstrated by this airframe’s 5,200 nm range, 488 kts cruise, and 51,000 ft ceiling, attributes that prioritize nonstop intercontinental capability and high-altitude cruise. Ownership by a large fractional operator reflects sustained buyer and charter demand for reliable, long-range platforms in shared-ownership models. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2016 serial 9777 airframe typically focus on engine shop visit history for the ROLLS DEUT BR700-710A220 powerplants and avionics service history for the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion fit, both key factors in lifecycle cost and asset valuation.
