N246ES

This entry covers airframe N246ES, a factory-built example of the Cessna 525 (CitationJet / Citation 525 series) completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 525-1161. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation FLIGHT SERVICES INC, and is registered in the US. As a recent-build unit of the Citation 525 family, the airframe carries a clean, modern specification typical of late-production CitationJets; no public record of prior operators or major registry actions beyond the current corporate ownership is published. Condition and valuation specifics beyond the build year and ownership are not published.

The aircraft is outfitted in an approximate 8-place executive layout consistent with the Citation 525 family, configured for corporate transport and short- to medium-haul point-to-point missions. With a published cruise of 381 kts and a maximum range of 1,550 nm, typical operations would include single-leg regional flights and cross-country missions within continental limits. Avionics fit and specific interior appointments for this serial are not published; maintenance considerations will follow Williams FJ44-1AP support and standard Citation 525 service practices. Ownership by FLIGHT SERVICES INC suggests primarily corporate/operator use rather than commercial charter, and the aircraft’s US registration indicates compliance with domestic registry requirements.

As a member of the Cessna 525 (CitationJet / Citation 525 series), this airframe occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, balancing compact executive accommodations with transcontinental capability reflected in its 1,550 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling. Performance figures such as 381 kts cruise and twin Williams FJ44 series powerplants place it in the segment sought by corporate operators needing efficient point-to-point travel. The 2023 build year and specific serial (525-1161) are factors that typically support stronger resale and lifecycle value retention relative to older airframes, while maintenance and support considerations remain tied to Williams engine programs and Textron Aviation service networks.
