N146QS

The airframe bearing registration N146QS is a 2014-built Bombardier business jet, serial number 9615, manufactured by Bombardier Inc.. The aircraft is owned and operated by the corporation NetJets Aviation, based in the United States, and appears in the U.S. civil register under that corporate ownership. Operated within NetJets' fractional and managed fleet, the airframe carries the typical NetJets executive configuration and has been maintained to fleet standards. Valuation for this specific Global 6000 example is approximately $30,000,000, reflecting its age, OEM pedigree, and operator service history.

The cabin of N146QS is configured in an executive 12–19-place layout typical of NetJets-configured Global 6000 interiors, designed to support both high-density business transport within a fractional model and longer transcontinental or intercontinental missions. Avionics aboard reflect the common Global 6000 fit with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, supporting advanced navigation, situational awareness, and automated flight management for complex IFR routings. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include long-range point-to-point executive travel up to its maximum practical range of 6,000 nm and high-speed cruise at 488 kts, operated from NetJets’ U.S. operating bases under corporate maintenance programs. Maintenance considerations align with Rolls-Royce BR710-series engine support and Global-series component access under NetJets’ centralized logistics.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 occupies the ultra-long-range large-cabin niche, offering transoceanic capability, high cruise speed, and a 51,000 ft ceiling, competing with variants of the Gulfstream G500/G550 family and Dassault Falcon 7X/8X in similar missions. Demand for factory-built Global 6000 airframes in fractional fleets remains tied to operator support, interior configuration, and engine time-life; a 2014-built airframe like N146QS balances proven airframe maturity with significant operational life, impacting resale and marketability. Resale considerations for this aircraft weigh fleet maintenance records, NetJets’ configuration, and BR710 engine maintenance status when valuing around $30,000,000.
