Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N253QS, is a 2022 production Bombardier Challenger 650 (serial number 6182) built by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US. As a relatively new build it carries contemporary avionics and certification standards typical for Challenger 650s; registration and ownership are held under a corporate NetJets entity, reflecting its role within a fleet sales and fractional ownership structure.
The cabin for this airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout, commonly accommodating 9 passenger / 2 crew in-line executive cabin configurations while being certificated up to 22 seats depending on customer configuration. Avionics are provided by Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (four-display advanced suite), supporting modern navigation, flight management and situational awareness for both charter and corporate missions. Operated within a NetJets corporate framework from Oklahoma City, OK, the aircraft is suitable for transcontinental and transoceanic missions within its approximate 4,000 nm range and long-range cruise performance. Maintenance considerations align with fleet-managed schedules typical of fractional ownership programs, emphasizing standardized avionics, engine type commonality, and regulator-compliant tracking under a corporate registry.
The Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the super-midsize category offering a balance of range, cabin volume and runway performance; this airframe's specifications—particularly the GE CF34-3B powerplants and Pro Line 21 avionics—place it competitively against other super-midsize types. Demand in fractional and charter markets favors factory-new or recent-build examples for predictable maintenance and fleet integration, while resale considerations highlight avionics suite, total time and corporate ownership history such as NETJETS SALES INC stewardship.
