Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific airframe bearing registration N20H, a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign built in 2012 with manufacturer's serial number 680-0338. The aircraft was completed by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is recorded as owned by HUBBARD BROADCASTING INC, a corporation based in Saint Paul, MN, US; the current registration is US-flagged. The airframe’s ownership by a corporate operator involved in broadcasting is a notable registry attribute, and the asset is assigned a market valuation of $7,000,000, reflecting its configuration and year of manufacture. No additional historic transfers or lease records are published for this airframe in the supplied data.
The cabin in this specific Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign is fitted in a typical executive double‑club layout for 8–9 passengers with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, supporting corporate mission profiles that mix short‑notice passenger transport and regional business trips. Operated from the owner’s base in Saint Paul, MN, US, the jet’s combination of a long-range capability of 2,820 nm and a high‑speed cruise near 459 kts suits multi‑stop continental missions and single‑stop transcontinental sectors. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C turbofans, each rated at 6,040 lbf, and typical operator upkeep cycles for a 2012‑build Sovereign configured for executive use. Galley and lavatory provisions support longer flight legs and passenger comfort on missions near the aircraft’s maximum operating ceiling of 47,000 ft.
The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the mid‑size business jet niche, offering intercity speed and transcontinental range that competes with types such as the Embraer Legacy 500 and the Bombardier Challenger light/midsize segment. Buyers and charter operators are attracted to the Sovereign for its payload‑range balance, cabine amenities, and robust systems; resale value for a 2012 airframe in corporate configuration is consistent with the stated valuation of $7,000,000. Maintenance and part support remain mature for the model, though operators should account for engine shop visits and avionics upgrades typical of aircraft of this vintage.
