Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N256QS, a Bombardier-built business jet completed in 2023 with serial number 6190. The airframe is listed as owned and operated by NetJets Aviation, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, and is registered in US registry records. Valuation notes for this specific airframe place it at $27,500,000, reflecting market positioning and its recent build year. Owned and managed in a fractional/charter context by NetJets Aviation, the aircraft is maintained to corporate standards at the operator’s Oklahoma City base.
The airframe is configured with a typical executive interior described as a 9–12 place layout suited to fractional and charter mission profiles, documented here as a 9-seat fit for this specific example. Avionics are reported in a typical fitment of Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, supporting modern cockpit situational awareness and systems integration for crewed operations. With a long-range capability of 4,000 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, the aircraft is optimized for transcontinental and longer charter sectors from its Oklahoma City operator base. Maintenance considerations for this operator-aligned example follow manufacturer and corporate program standards under NetJets Aviation ownership.
The airframe is a Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) built by Bombardier Inc. and sits within the fixed-wing, multi-engine business jet category. Its combination of a 4,000 nm range, 41,000 ft ceiling and twin CF34-3B MTO engines delivering 9,220 lbf each positions the type for high-utilization fractional and charter use. With a recent build year (2023) and a listed value of $27,500,000, resale and charter demand considerations for this particular airframe reflect contemporary market interest in late-model Challenger 650 examples with Pro Line 21 avionics and corporate operator support.
