N240QS

This entry covers airframe N240QS, a Bombardier-built Challenger variant completed in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 6146. The aircraft is a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 650) registered in the US and is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporate fractional/co-owned entity based in Oklahoma City, OK, US. As a NetJets fractional asset the airframe’s operational control and cabin fit have been subject to the operator’s standard fractional management practices and periodic cabin refits. Notable registry and ownership history is summarized by its assignment to NETJETS SALES INC as a corporate fractional asset; further specific registry actions are not published here.

The airframe is typically fitted with a 9-passenger executive layout (two crew) though as a fractional/NetJets aircraft the interior can vary with cabin refits and operator configuration changes. Avionics are the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced suite in typical installations for this model, supporting the operational profile and crew workload for business and transcontinental missions. With a long-range capability of 4,000 nm and a high subsonic cruise of 459 kts, the aircraft is commonly employed on medium- to long-range corporate and fractional missions originating from its operator base in Oklahoma City, OK, US. Maintenance considerations reflect the Challenger 650 family’s requirements for CF34-series engine support and avionics lifecycle management under fractional ownership.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 650) occupies a mid-to-large-cabin business jet niche offering intercontinental range and robust payload for its class. Competing models typically include other large-cabin business jets with comparable range and passenger capacity; buyer and charter demand for fractional-operated examples centers on predictability of availability and networked fleet support. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe hinge on CF34-3B engine support, airframe hours since its 2019 manufacture, and any cabin refit history performed under NETJETS SALES INC fractional operations.
