Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered N242QS, is a 2020-built Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) with serial number 6153. The aircraft is listed as owned by NetJets Sales Inc, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US. Its build year and corporate ownership make it a relatively young, operator-managed business jet in NetJets’ disposition stream; acquired/held by NetJets Sales Inc is the primary noted ownership event. Recent valuation and condition highlights record the airframe at an estimated market value of $21,000,000, reflecting contemporary configuration and avionics fit.

The cabin of this Challenger 650 is fitted in a typical 10–12-place executive layout with a forward galley, mid-cabin seating, and an aft lavatory while being certified up to 22 seats, allowing flexible configurations for corporate transport or higher-capacity shuttle missions. Avionics are the common fit/configuration of Collins Pro Line 4 / Pro Line Fusion, supporting advanced flight deck capability and interoperability with operator fleet standards. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium- to long-range business travel within its 3,756 nm range and cruise at 459 kts, operated from the owner’s base in Oklahoma City, OK, US for charter, fractional, or sales disposition use. Maintenance considerations center on twin General Electric CF34-3B engine support and systems commonality with the avionics suite.

As a member of the Bombardier Challenger 650 family, this airframe occupies a mid-size business jet performance niche defined by transcontinental range and comfortable cabin capacity under multiple seating certifications. The combination of CF34-3B engines, a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, and modern Collins avionics contributes to steady buyer and operator demand for fleet-standard, resale-ready examples. Market and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include engine maintenance cycles, avionics lifecycle in relation to Pro Line 4 / Pro Line Fusion standards, and the listed valuation of $21,000,000, which will inform trade, fractional sales, or charter-entry decisions.
