Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N254QS, is a 2023-build Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 with serial number 6187. It is owned by AREZOO AIR LLC, an Oklahoma City–based limited liability company (Oklahoma City, OK, US) and carries a US registration. The jet entered service in 2023 and remains operated from its owner’s home base in Oklahoma City; the aircraft is FAA certificated for 22 seats, a notable registry designation that differs from the manufacturer’s typical executive seating capacities. No public record of prior owners or registry actions for this airframe beyond its current ownership is reported in the supplied data.

The cabin of N254QS is fitted in a typical executive layout arranged in two cabin zones while the manufacturer lists capacity up to 12 passengers; the airframe is FAA certificated for 22 seats, allowing higher seating configurations for certain operations. Avionics are provided by Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (four large displays, dual FMS, SVS, MultiScan radar), supporting advanced navigation, situational awareness and weather avoidance capabilities for charter or corporate missions. With a 4,000 nm range and a 424-knot cruise speed, this specific Challenger 650 is suited to transcontinental U.S. flights and longer offshore or intercontinental city-pair missions operated from its Oklahoma City base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe follow the Challenger 650 program, with the twin GE CF34-3B engines supplying 9,220 lbf each and typical inspection intervals consistent with factory and FAA guidance.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering substantial cabin volume and transcontinental capability relative to light and midsize competitors. Typical competitors include newer large-cabin types that prioritize cabin comfort and avionics sophistication; the Challenger 650’s Pro Line 21 suite remains a robust, well-supported avionics fit. Buyer and charter demand for late-model Challenger 650 airframes is driven by their combination of range, cabin size and support network; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program status for the GE CF34-3B engines, avionics upgrades, and the airframe’s certification and seating configuration.
