N261QS

This airframe, registered as N261QS, is a 2023 build of the Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) bearing serial number 6199. The aircraft is co-owned by AJAX JET AVIATION LLC (co-owned) c/o NetJets Sales Inc. with its operator/home base recorded in Oklahoma City, OK, US and U.S. registration. The fractional/corporate co-ownership arrangement is notable for aligning this airframe with NetJets sales and operator practices. As a recent-production example its condition aligns with a newer market entry and an estimated value of $24,000,000 reflects contemporary pricing for late-build Challengers in this configuration.

The airframe carries a typical executive cabin fitted for a 10–12-place executive layout while being certificated for 22 seats, enabling flexible mission roles from executive transport to higher-density positioning flights. Avionics are commonly operator-fit and for this type are aligned with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting standard Challenger operating procedures and common training flows. Typical routes for this platform include transcontinental and long-range domestic missions consistent with a 4,000 nm capability and a high-speed cruise near 459 kts; the operator’s Oklahoma City base supports both corporate travel and fractional repositioning. Maintenance and scheduling practices reflect fractional ownership norms with centralized logistic support through the co-owner/operator entity.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin, long-range business jet with robust payload-range capability and competitive operating economics relative to similarly sized transcontinental types. Competing models include late-model Gulfstream G280-class and Dassault Falcon offerings in mission capability, with buyer and charter demand driven by cabin size, range, and fleet commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its 2023 build status, fractional co-ownership structure, and the commonality of the CF34-3B engines and Pro Line 21 avionics in service networks.
