N157QS

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N157QS, a Bombardier-built long-range business jet delivered in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 9870. The aircraft is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is operated under a US civil registration. Registry summaries note the engines as the BR700-710A220 variant in some records; routine registry actions have reflected this variant reporting. The airframe's listed market value is $27,388,760, and its condition is implied by continued operation under a fractional operator-type owner with typical fleet maintenance practices.

The cabin of this specific Global 6000 is described as a typical executive layout accommodating 12–13 passengers in standard configurations, while the aircraft is FAA-certified for a high-density fit up to 23 seats; the NetJets operator fit may vary between those configurations. Avionics fit for the type is the Collins / Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, consistent with common Global 6000 installations and likely present on this airframe. Operational missions for this airframe align with long-range transcontinental and transoceanic travel, leveraging the 6,000 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling for efficient cruise at 488 kts. As a fractional/portfolio asset under NETJETS SALES INC, maintenance scheduling and interior configurations are managed to meet multi-user, high-utilization profiles.

The Bombardier Global 6000 (BD-700-1A10) family occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering intercontinental range and high-speed cruise performance to compete with other ultra-long-range types. Typical competitors include other large-cabin jets in OEM and aftermarket markets; buyer demand favors corporate operators and fractional programs that value range, cabin comfort, and advanced avionics like Pro Line Fusion. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the type’s complex engine systems (Rolls-Royce BR700/BR710 series) and the support chain expected for a 2019 delivery with corporate ownership.
