N101QS is a 2012 Bombardier Global 5000, registered as a co-owned aircraft (the FAA form fractional programmes use, with no single name on file). It works in NetJets Aviation's floating charter fleet: on the Part 135 certificate (DXTA), and positioned wherever the next trip starts rather than kept at one airport. In the twelve months to 7 September 2026 it flew 408 legs on 194 days, about 239,342 nautical miles. That is close to the median for a Bombardier Global 5000 in U.S. charter service (64 airframes tracked, median 328 legs). It touched 134 airports but keeps returning to the same city pairs: 54% of legs repeat a route already flown in the year.
