N188QS

This airframe, registered as N188QS, is a 2024-built Bombardier BD-700-2A12 Global 7500 with serial number 70191. The aircraft is owned by NetJets Aviation, Inc. (a corporation based in Columbus, OH, US) and is listed on the United States registry. Entered the NetJets/corporate fleet in 2024 and is operated in that fractional/charter context from the owner’s U.S. base; there are no public records of subsequent ownership transfers. The airframe is valued at $70,000,000 and is maintained to OEM and NetJets standards consistent with its new-build condition and commercial fractional operation.

The aircraft features a four‑zone executive cabin and is configured for typical NetJets/charter layouts accommodating 14–19 passengers, while the registry lists a 22-seat capability, allowing flexible mission planning from executive transport to higher-capacity positioning flights. The Bombardier Vision flight deck fitted to this airframe includes four large displays, heads‑up display (HUD), enhanced flight vision system (EVS) and synthetic vision system (SVS) integrated within an advanced fly‑by‑wire architecture, supporting high‑density, long‑range operations. Typical missions for this Global 7500 include transcontinental and intercontinental point‑to‑point flights leveraging the 7,700 nm range and high cruise speed to serve NetJets’ fractional customers; maintenance follows OEM schedules and NetJets’ managed program given its corporate ownership and high-utilization profile.

As a BD-700-2A12 Global 7500, N188QS belongs to Bombardier’s flagship ultra‑long‑range business jet family, aimed at the top of the market for transoceanic corporate transport. The model competes with other ultra‑long‑range large-cabin types and attracts buyers seeking 7,000+ nm capability combined with high cruise speed and cabin size; fleet demand is strong among fractional operators and large corporate flight departments. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are favorable given recent build year (2024), modern GE Passport engines, advanced avionics fit and ownership by an established fractional operator, factors that support liquidity and predictable upkeep in the secondary market.
