Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N245QS, a 2021-built business jet with serial number 6169. The aircraft is a Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) manufactured by Bombardier Inc and is registered in the United States. Ownership is listed to NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US; the registry describes a 22-seat fractional/operator configuration. Recorded ownership under NETJETS SALES INC is the principal notable registry action for this airframe and serves as its operational and custody baseline.
The airframe is configured in a 22-seat fractional/operator layout (as listed in registry), indicating operation within a fractional ownership or charter operator model rather than a traditional corporate single-owner fit. Avionics are fitted with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced, supporting integrated flight management, navigation, and communications consistent with high-utilization operator standards. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type and configuration would include medium- to long-range executive and high-density transport missions up to the listed 4,000 nm range and cruise speeds near 470 kts, often operating from operator bases consistent with the owner’s regional footprint. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific unit align with fleet-oriented schedules and centralized operator oversight under NETJETS SALES INC.
The Challenger 650 family occupies a mid-size, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and cabin capacity that support fractional and high-utilization operator models. Competing platforms in this performance envelope typically include late-model large-cabin business jets and long-range variants from other manufacturers; demand among fractional operators and charter fleets favors aircraft with robust avionics like the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced and proven engine types such as the GE CF34-3B. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2021 manufacture date and operator-centric configuration, where lifecycle costs are managed within a pooled-fleet maintenance environment.
