Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N29MC, is a 2001-built Cessna 525A (Citation CJ2) with serial number 525A-0042. The aircraft is owned by VALIAIR LC TRUSTEE, an LLC located in Ogden, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe has a typical business-jet executive configuration and is valued at $3,500,000. Registered to VALIAIR LC TRUSTEE and based in Ogden, Utah, the airframe’s public record centers on private corporate ownership rather than commercial airline operation.

The cabin of this Cessna 525A (Citation CJ2) is arranged in a typical 6–8 passenger executive layout, with club seating configurations characteristic of the CJ2 series. As owned and registered by an Ogden-based LLC, its mission profile is consistent with short- to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter use within continental distances up to its stated range of 1,613 nm. Avionics fitment is standard for the CJ2 series and supports high-speed cruise operations at 403 kts to flight levels approaching its 45,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the twin-engine Williams FJ44-2C powerplant configuration, with attention to scheduled engine and airframe checks typical for a 2001-built light business jet.

The Cessna 525A (Citation CJ2) occupies a light-cabin, longish-range niche in the business-jet market, providing efficient point-to-point corporate transport with relatively low operating costs compared with larger jets. Competing models historically include other light-cabin jets that offer similar cruise speeds and regional range capabilities. Buyer and charter demand for aircraft like N29MC tends to emphasize quick climb performance to higher flight levels and efficient short-field operations, balanced against age-related maintenance and avionics upgrade considerations for a 2001 serial 525A-0042. Resale and valuation dynamics for this airframe are influenced by its ownership history, maintenance status, and the continued popularity of the CJ2 platform.
