N162QS

This airframe, registered as N162QS, is a 2012-built Bombardier Global 6000 with serial number 9484, and is owned by NetJets Sales Inc, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The aircraft appears on the U.S. registry under NetJets-related ownership and is recorded with a configuration reflecting operator needs; FAA registry information notes a 23-seat certification. Valuation records list the airframe at approximately $23,000,000, reflecting market expectations for a 2012 Global 6000 in NetJets service and its executive-configured condition. The type is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet operated in fractional and corporate environments, with maintenance and operational history aligned to NetJets’ program standards.

The cabin of this Global 6000 is described as the typical executive layout used in NetJets service; FAA registry lists 23 seats, while many resale and configuration listings for similar airframes show 13–14 executive passenger layouts, indicating operator-configured fitments for flexibility between high-density ferry or repositioning and standard executive missions. Avionics aboard this variant are noted as Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion (a Pro Line Fusion fit is typical on Global 6000 variants), supporting advanced flight-deck capabilities and integrated situational awareness. Operationally the airframe is employed on long-range transcontinental and intercontinental missions consistent with its 6,000 nm range and high cruise speed, with NetJets’ maintenance regime and scheduling used to sustain availability across the fractional fleet.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 occupies the ultra-long-range business jet niche, prized for transoceanic capability, high cruise speed, and a 51,000 ft service ceiling compared with competitor offerings. Competing models include long-range derivatives from Gulfstream and Dassault; demand among fractional operators and high-end charter buyers remains centered on range, cabin comfort, and operating economics. Resale considerations for a 2012 Global 6000 like N162QS include the avionics fit, cabin reconfiguration options (23-seat registry versus typical 13–14 executive seating), and the airframe’s maintenance provenance under NetJets’ program, all factors that materially influence market pricing and purchaser interest.
