N131QS is a 2024 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 569 legs on 255 days, about 324,160 nautical miles. That is 73% more than the median Bombardier Global 5000 in U.S. charter service (64 airframes tracked), which puts it among the harder-working examples of the type. It touched 157 airports but keeps returning to the same city pairs: 56% of legs repeat a route already flown in the year.
