N216QS

This entry describes airframe N216QS, a Bombardier Challenger 650 built in 2016 with serial number 6077. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a Corporation (fractional/co-ownership) based in Oklahoma City, OK, US; the airframe has been associated with that operator/home base in its registry record. Registered to NETJETS SALES INC as a fractional/co-ownership asset, the aircraft is presented with a market valuation of $21,000,000 and is maintained in the fixed-wing multi-engine category. Notable registry actions are limited to the documented ownership and registration details provided for this specific tail number.

The airframe is configured in a typical executive layout designed for 9–12 passengers within an overall seating certification of 22, featuring a cabin length of 25 ft 7 in, width of 7 ft 11 in, and height of 6 ft, consistent with executive transport missions. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced suite, supporting advanced navigation, situational awareness, and systems integration suitable for both short-notice charter legs and longer transcontinental missions up to the type’s 4,000 nm range. Operated by a fractional ownership entity based in Oklahoma City, OK, the aircraft’s mission profile typically includes corporate transport, owner-fraction travel, and on-demand charter where permitted by the operator. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with Challenger 650 fleet practices, driven by the GE CF34-3B turbofan engine requirement and the aircraft’s high-utilization fractional operating environment.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range and cabin volume. Competitors in this market segment include other large-cabin types that target executive fractional and charter operators. Demand from fractional ownership fleets supports liquidity in the resale market, though value retention is influenced by hours/cycles on GE CF34-3B engines and the installed Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics package. For operators and buyers, considerations include lifecycle maintenance of the airframe and its powerplants, as well as the operational economics tied to a 2016-built example with the reported configuration and valuation.
