N165QS2015 Bombardier Global 6000

Overview

The airframe with tail number N165QS is a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 built in 2015 with manufacturer serial 9726. The airliner-grade business jet was manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and is recorded as owned by Netjets Sales Inc (a corporation) located in Oklahoma City, OK, US. The aircraft is noted in FAA records with an atypical seating configuration for the model, being registered with 23 seats rather than the typical VVIP count.

Operations & Cabin

This specific Global 6000 airframe is fitted internally as a three-zone VVIP executive layout in concept, described as a Three-zone VVIP executive layout (typical 12-17 pax; this airframe registered with 23 seats in FAA record). The avionics fit listed for the model is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion (typical Global 6000 fit), aligning this airframe with contemporary integrated flight decks for long-range business operations. Typical missions for a Global 6000 of this specification include transcontinental and transoceanic executive transport, with the 6,000 nm range and high cruise speed supporting extended nonstop sectors. Operational basing and administrative oversight are tied to Netjets Sales Inc in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow OEM and Rolls-Royce engine support programs appropriate to the BR710A2-20 powerplants and the Global 6000 series.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a high operating ceiling (51,000 ft) and fast cruise (488 kts). Competing models in the segment typically include other ultra-long-range large-cabin types; demand centers on owner-operators and fractional/charter fleets seeking intercontinental flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program enrollment for the Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20, avionics upgrades for Pro Line Fusion-equipped examples, and cabin reconfiguration history, this airframe’s registered 23-seat configuration may affect typical VVIP market positioning and appraisal.
