N18K

The airframe bearing tail number N18K is a 2023 production example of the Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+, serial 525B0689, built by Textron Aviation Inc. It is registered in the US and is owned by N18K HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Hollywood, FL, US; the current registration and ownership record indicate no public record of previous operators prior to this assignment. The aircraft is a late-model Citation CJ3+ configured and equipped at delivery to executive standards and carries an estimated market value of $9,000,000. Maintenance and valuation information reflect a contemporary, purpose-built airframe without noted damage history in the provided data.

The cabin of N18K follows a typical executive club arrangement for the model, providing a 6–8 passenger layout with a forward refreshment/galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, optimized for short to mid‑range corporate missions. The airframe is fitted with a Garmin G3000 avionics suite, supporting modern flight-deck automation, situational awareness and single-pilot capabilities common to the CJ3+ series. With a cruise speed near 416 knots and a range of approximately 2,040 nautical miles, the aircraft is typically employed on point-to-point U.S. and regional international routes, charter work, and owner-operator missions originating from its home base in Hollywood, FL. Routine maintenance considerations reflect the twin‑engine Williams FJ44-3A fleet support network and factory-recommended inspection intervals for late-production Citation light jets.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, light-jet niche, offering a blend of high cruise speed, transcontinental short-field performance and low operating costs relative to larger business jets. Competing models include later variants of the Embraer Phenom 300 and light configurations of the HondaJet and Pilatus PC‑24 for certain missions. Demand among owner-operators and charter operators remains steady for late-production CJ3+ airframes due to their modern avionics (Garmin G3000), comfortable eight-seat layouts and solid resale values that underpin the listed valuation. Maintenance and resale considerations typically reference engine support for the Williams FJ44-3A and market appetite for 2020s-era light jets.
