N153CJ

The airframe bearing registration N153CJ is a 2003-built example of the Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2, serial number 525A0153, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). This specific airframe is owned by ABBEY AIR INC, a corporate owner based in Birmingham, AL, US, and is operated from that home base for corporate transport duties. There are no publicly documented registry actions or ownership transfers beyond the listed corporate ownership in available data. The aircraft carries an assessed market value of $3,350,000, consistent with late-model CJ2 airframes in active executive configuration.

The airframe is configured as an 8-place executive cabin, reflecting a typical corporate interior density for short- to medium-range business missions. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this serial are not published in the supplied data; maintenance and operational planning therefore rely on standard CJ2 system baselines and any supplemental records held by the operator. With a long-range cruise capability and a high operating ceiling, the aircraft is well suited to point-to-point regional and transcontinental sectors within its 1,781 nm range, enabling nonstop business flights from its Birmingham base to major domestic markets. Routine maintenance considerations follow multi-engine, light-jet practices for the Williams FJ44 engine family and airframe inspections per manufacturer guidance.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light-cabin business-jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range for single-cockpit two-pilot operations. Competitors in this class include other light-cabin jets offering similar speed-range trade-offs; buyer and charter demand historically favor well-maintained CJ2s for economical corporate transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe concentrate on engine time on the Williams FJ44-3A-24 powerplants, avionics pedigree, and verified maintenance records, factors that materially influence the realized portion of the $3,350,000 valuation.
