N252QS

This entry describes the specific Bombardier Challenger 650 airframe registered as N252QS, built in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 6180. The jet is listed as owned by NetJets Sales Inc (co-owned), a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is carried on the US civil register. The aircraft's registry entry notably records a 22-seat certification for the cabin configuration even though the typical executive layout for the model is commonly 9–12 passengers plus 2 crew. Public valuation and detailed condition reports are not published for this individual airframe.

The listed cabin for this Challenger 650 follows a typical executive arrangement pattern but the registry for N252QS shows a 22-seat certification, indicating an alternate high-density or corporate shuttle configuration is recorded for this airframe. Avionics fit is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (Advanced, four large displays) suite, supporting integrated flight management, weather and communications functions common to business aviation operations. Operated from a corporate owner in Oklahoma City, OK, missions for this airframe are consistent with medium- to long-range executive transport and repositioning flights up to its range capability; typical roles include corporate shuttle, fractional ownership rotations, and transcontinental sectors. Maintenance considerations follow Challenger 650 program requirements for twin CF34-3B powerplants and Pro Line 21 avionics support infrastructure.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range and cabin space within the super-midsize to large-cabin sector. It competes with types such as Gulfstream G280, Dassault Falcon 2000 variants, and late-model large-cabin twins in fractional and corporate fleets. Demand drivers for airframes like N252QS include fractional ownership and corporate flight departments seeking reliable range and a certified high-seat configuration; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program enrollment for the GE CF34-3B and the support status of Pro Line 21 avionics upgrades.
