Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N315QS, is a 2008-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer serial number 680-0220. It is registered in the United States and is owned by NetJets Sales Inc, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US. The airframe is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and carries an estimated value of $6,700,000, reflecting its status as a late-2000s Citation Sovereign example. No additional public registry actions are noted in the supplied data beyond its U.S. registration and corporate ownership.

The cabin of this Sovereign is fitted in a typical nine-passenger double-club layout with a forward galley, a forward side-facing seat and an aft lavatory, although operator configurations can vary. Avionics equipment for this airframe is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, which is typical for the Citation Sovereign and supports the aircraft’s long-range business missions. Operated under corporate ownership by an Oklahoma City–based entity, the jet’s mission profile is consistent with high-speed, medium-range point-to-point charters or owner travel within its 2,820 nm range and cruise speed near 459 kts. Maintenance and operational considerations follow those customary to PW306C-powered Sovereign airframes and corporate fleet management practices.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a performance niche as a mid-size, long-range business jet offering transcontinental capability within its class and a high-altitude ceiling of 47,000 ft. Typical competitors to the Sovereign in the market include other mid-size to super mid-size business jets that emphasize cabin comfort, range and speed; buyer and charter demand historically targets operators seeking a balance of operating economy and performance. For resale and valuation, factors such as the serial-built year (2008), total-cycle and maintenance history, configuration, and the installed PW306C engines influence marketability; the supplied valuation of $6,700,000 reflects its standing among comparable late-2000s Sovereign examples.
