N289VT

This airframe, registered as N289VT, is a 2023-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0419, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is owned by VALLEY TRANSPORTATION SERVICE INC, a corporate owner based in Grand Meadow, MN, US, and is U.S.-registered. The current ownership and registration reflect a single corporate operator/home base relationship without public record of prior transfers or notable registry actions. Condition and valuation specifics are not published beyond its new-build 2023 status, though the airframe’s recent manufacture implies current conformity with original delivery standards.

The FAA registration records list the cabin as 11-place seating (per FAA registration); this suggests a typical light business jet interior accommodating up to eleven occupants in a mixed club-and-forward seating arrangement consistent with CJ4 operator installations. Operated from Grand Meadow, MN, the aircraft is well suited to regional and transcontinental missions within its 2,170 nm range and high-cruise profile, enabling non-stop city-pair flights common to corporate shuttle and on-demand charter roles. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the twin Williams FJ44-4A turbofan engines, which deliver 3,621 lbf each and are subject to OEM-life limits, inspection cycles, and typical on-condition component replacement schedules. No bespoke cabin modifications or aftermarket equipment details are published for this registration.

As a member of the Citation CJ4 family, the Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance end of the light jet market by offering elevated cruise speeds and substantial range for its class. Competing models typically include late-model light jets that balance single-pilot capability and cabin capacity; buyer and charter demand for 2023-build specimens tends to favor newer airframes for lower immediate maintenance exposure and avionics currency. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its recent manufacture date, corporate ownership, and the established support network of Textron Aviation and Williams International for airframe and engine support respectively.
