Scott Aviation holds it on their Part 135 certificate (K95A), so it is bookable for charter. In the twelve months to 7 September 2026 it flew 283 legs on 158 days, about 198,695 nautical miles. That is 44% more than the median Bombardier Global 6000 in U.S. charter service (106 airframes tracked), which puts it among the harder-working examples of the type.
