Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N266QS, is a 2024 build of the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 with serial number 6212. Manufactured by Bombardier Inc., the jet is held by AIR NEMO LLC (c/o NETJETS SALES INC), an LLC / Fractional ownership concern based in Oklahoma City, OK, reflecting its role in shared ownership and operation; the ownership arrangement is noted here as fractional ownership through a NetJets-related entity. The aircraft carries a US registration and entered service in 2024; no additional registry actions or separate operators are published for this specific airframe. Condition and valuation details are not published beyond its factory-new 2024 status.
The Challenger 650 airframe N266QS is configured to seat 22 passengers, consistent with flexible layouts used in fractional or corporate operations where combinations of forward club seating and aft divans are common; specific interior fit details for this serial are not published. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced (four large displays) suite, supporting modern flight-deck operational capabilities and common pilot type-rating transitions within the Challenger fleet. With a maximum range of 4,000 nm and cruise speed near 459 kts, the aircraft is well-suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and medium-haul international hops from its base in Oklahoma City, OK under its fractional ownership program. Maintenance considerations reflect standard Challenger 650 practices for the CF34-3B MTO engines and Pro Line 21 avionics commonality, benefiting operators in shared-fleet logistics and scheduled checks.
The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 occupies the super-midsize corporate jet niche, offering long-range capability and a relatively spacious cabin compared with light-cabin competitors. Typical competitors include newer super-midsize and large-cabin types that provide similar transcontinental range and seating flexibility; demand is often driven by fractional owners and charter operators seeking commonality and reliability. The use of GE CF34-3B MTO engines and a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck supports predictable maintenance cycles and aftermarket support, factors that influence resale and fractional fleet planning for 2024-series airframes.
