N339QS

This entry documents airframe N339QS, a 2008-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0191. The aircraft is owned by NetJets Sales Inc., a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is operated within the NetJets fleet infrastructure under US registration. The airframe’s paperwork and registry trace it to fractional and corporate operations rather than private individual ownership. As a used fractional/managed fleet asset it carries an estimated current valuation of $6,900,000, reflecting age, configuration, and fleet support status.

The cabin of this airframe follows the Citation Sovereign typical fit with an 8–9 passenger double‑club layout, incorporating a forward galley and an aft enclosed lavatory that support business travel and short overnight missions. Avionics aboard are a typical Honeywell Primus Epic suite, enabling modern flight management, situational awareness and single-pilot or two-pilot operational flexibility as used by fractional operators. NetJets operation suggests this airframe routinely conducts domestic and transcontinental missions within the Sovereign’s roughly 3,010 nm range and the cruise profile around 388 kts, optimized for point-to-point business travel. Maintenance and readiness are handled within a corporate fleet structure, which generally standardizes inspections, avionics updates and interior refurbishment schedules.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-size business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, a high single-flight ceiling of 47,000 ft and robust short-field performance relative to longer-range heavy jets. Competing models include other super-midsize offerings from Bombardier and Gulfstream entry-level types; demand typically comes from fractional operators, charter companies and owner-operators seeking a balance of cabin comfort and runway flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe hinge on fleet-support programs, engine time on the PW306C engines, and interior refurbishment status, factors that influence its $6.9M market valuation.
