N218MB

The airframe bearing tail number N218MB is a 2012-built example of the Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 owned by MBI Leasing LLC (a corporate owner). Registered in the US, this specific CJ4 is presented in typical corporate configuration and carries an estimated market value of $5,650,000. The airframe’s documented owner is a leasing corporation, indicating a likely role in lease or charter operations rather than owner-operator use. No public record of additional operators or registry actions is included in the available data.

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a typical 8‑place executive layout featuring a forward galley, mid/forward club seating, and an optional two‑place side‑facing couch, with an externally serviceable aft lavatory. Avionics aboard are the four‑display Collins Pro Line 21 suite with Collins FMS-3000, MultiScan weather radar, and TCAS II, supporting both single-pilot capable dispatch profiles and advanced avionics-dependent charter operations. With a long-range capability of 2,165 nm and a high cruising speed of 430 kts, missions for this aircraft commonly include regional business travel and short international hops from a US base under lease or charter, benefiting from the high‑altitude capability to FL45,000. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with corporate-leased jets, where engine and avionics upkeep are prioritized to preserve asset value.

The Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 occupies a light-cabin, long-range niche within fixed-wing multi-engine business aviation, offering transregional speed and high-altitude capability. Demand for such airframes typically stems from charter operators and corporate lessors seeking eight-seat executive interiors combined with modern avionics suites like Pro Line 21. For a 2012-model airframe with the specified equipment and an estimated value of $5,650,000, resale and maintenance profiles hinge on engine hours, avionics retrofits, and interior condition; ownership by MBI Leasing LLC suggests active asset management to maintain marketability.
