N263QS

This airframe, registered as N263QS, is a 2024-built Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) with manufacturer serial number 6204. The jet was produced by Bombardier Inc. and is owned by BRODER TRANSPORT LLC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US; the operator/home base is listed in the US registry. Delivered new in 2024 to corporate ownership, the airframe appears in contemporary registries with a US registration and an operator-configurable seating declaration. Current valuation is recorded at $33,300,000, reflecting a new-build market position and recent manufacture date for the platform.

The cabin is described with a typical executive layout for 10–12 passengers, while the official registry lists 22 seats; seating is operator-configurable for corporate or charter missions. Avionics are fitted with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (Pro Line Fusion advanced suite) installation, supporting advanced flight-management, situational awareness and connectivity options suitable for long-range business operations. Typical missions for this airframe would include transcontinental and intercontinental business travel consistent with its 4,000 nm range and 461 kts cruise speed, often operating from corporate bases such as the owner’s Oklahoma City location. Maintenance considerations follow Challenger 650 fleet practices for CF34-3B engines and Pro Line 21 avionics, with attention to common scheduled D-check intervals and lifecycle components on a 2024-delivered example.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering long range, a generous cabin and robust performance to FL410. Competing models include late-model Gulfstream G280 and Embraer Legacy/E195-based offerings in the super-midsize segment. Buyer and charter demand favors recent-production airframes for reduced immediate maintenance outlay and modern avionics; a 2024 serial like 6204 commands a premium in resale and charter markets, reflected in the $33,300,000 valuation. Resale considerations focus on engine time on wing for the GE CF34-3B engines and updates to in-cabin systems or FMS databases despite the contemporary Pro Line Fusion fit.
