Model & Market Context
This article describes airframe N241QS, a Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) built by Bombardier Inc. in 2019 with serial number 6148. The jet is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by the corporation NETJETS SALES INC, located in Oklahoma City, OK, US. Registry information lists a 22-seat configuration, a detail that contrasts with the aircraft's typical executive interior layout; current valuation for the airframe is listed at $34,000,000. The entry focuses on the specific configuration, performance specifications, and the aircraft’s role within fractional ownership/operator fleets.
The airframe carries a typical 9–12 place executive cabin layout in operational use, while registry data records 22 seats, indicating possible alternate interior or certification configurations. Cabin dimensions approximate a length of ~25.7 ft, a width of 7 ft 11 in, and a height of 6 ft, supporting transcontinental and international business missions. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, a standard fit for the Challenger 650, facilitating advanced flight management and crew situational awareness on long-range executive sectors. Operated under corporate ownership in Oklahoma City, the aircraft is optimized for fractional, charter, and private transport missions with maintenance cycles and interior refurbishments consistent with fleet standards for a 2019 build.
The Challenger 650 family occupies the large-cabin, mid‑to‑long-range business jet niche, offering a mix of cabin space and transcontinental performance with a 4,000 nm range and a high cruise capability of 424 kts. Competing models include other large-cabin aircraft in its class; demand is driven by fractional and charter operators seeking reliability and comfort. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2019 Challenger 650 such as N241QS center on engine time for the GE CF34-3B units, avionics standardization around Pro Line 21, and interior condition given alternative seat configurations recorded in the registry.
