N12JK

This airframe, registered as N12JK, is a Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) built in 2006 with serial number 560-5618. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by ASTEC INDUSTRIES INC, a corporation based in Chattanooga, TN, US, which serves as the operator and primary base for the airframe. The airframe carries a documented valuation of $6,100,000 and was noted for a cabin refurbishment completed in 2019; there are no other public registry actions included in the supplied data.

The cabin of this Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) is configured as a 9‑place executive center‑club with a 2‑place forward divan and a belted lavatory seat, reflecting the 2019 refurbishment that returned the interior to an executive layout. Avionics are modernized with a Garmin G5000 suite including the Awareness & Protection Package, GDU 1450W displays, dual GTC touch controllers and GTX 3000 ADS-B transponders, supporting both operational situational awareness and contemporary airspace compliance. Typical missions for this airframe align with short‑to‑medium range corporate travel from its Chattanooga base, capitalizing on the type’s cruise speed and range for point‑to‑point executive transport. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft include twin‑engine Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B support and lifecycle planning consistent with a mid‑2000s airframe that has received interior refurbishment and avionics upgrades.

The Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) occupies the light‑midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance and operating economy. Competitors include other light‑midsize jets that target charter and owner‑operator buyers seeking 1,500–2,000 nm capability with transcontinental cruise speeds near 433 kts. For this airframe, resale and charter marketability are enhanced by the 2019 cabin refurbishment, modern Garmin G5000 avionics and documented engine type, though prospective buyers will weigh age (built 2006) and current maintenance status against the listed valuation of $6,100,000.
