N2KK

This entry concerns airframe N2KK, a 2003-built business jet registered in the United States. The aircraft is a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) with serial number 560-5319. Ownership is recorded to PONY EXPRESS HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Dallas, TX, US, which serves as the registered owner and operator/home base for the airframe per available registry data. Registry records note seating configurations and typical equipment fits for the production era; no additional notable incidents or registry actions are published in the supplied data set.

The cabin of N2KK is outfitted in a typical executive configuration for the 560XL line, with registry notes indicating a typical 8–13 passenger executive layout and club seating options; the specific installation for this airframe is recorded up to 13 seats. Avionics for this era of Citation Excel are typical of Honeywell systems, and this airframe is noted with a Honeywell Primus 1000 style installation consistent with 560XL-era equipment fits. Operationally, the aircraft’s 1,847 nm range and a 429 kt cruise speed suit short- to medium-haul domestic business missions from its Dallas, TX base, including point-to-point corporate travel and on-demand charter work under owner control. Maintenance considerations align with twin-PW545-powered Citation XL class requirements and typical executive interior upkeep cycles.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and short-field performance. With twin PW545 engines and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, the model competes with contemporaries in the early 2000s light-medium class for buyers and charter operators seeking cost-effective regional capability. Market demand for aircraft like N2KK tends to favor well-maintained, avionics-updated examples; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine overhauls, calendar-based inspections, and interior refurbishments consistent with clube-configured cabins.
