N351BC

This airframe, registered as N351BC, is a 1996-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with serial number 525-0159. It is owned by International Bank Of Commerce (a corporation based in Laredo, TX, US) and is registered in the US. The airframe’s history is defined by corporate operation and financial-institution ownership rather than public charter; registration and corporate custody have been stable under the listed owner. The aircraft's reported market valuation stands at $1,600,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and position within the light-jet segment.

The airframe is configured in a typical 5–6-place executive layout consistent with small light-jet cabins of its model, offering seating for 6 in an executive arrangement. As an aircraft operated by a regional banking corporation, missions are likely short-to-medium range business trips within the continental United States, taking advantage of the CJ1’s 1,248 nm range and 380 kt cruise speed. Based at the owner’s Laredo, Texas base, the aircraft would routinely serve point-to-point flights between regional business centers rather than long-haul operations. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow CJ1 schedules for the Williams FJ44-1AP powerplants and standard airframe inspections; no unique avionics or interior refit data for this serial are published.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light-jet niche for owner-operators and corporate flight departments requiring efficient short-to-medium-range performance and single-pilot capability in some configurations. Competing models in this class prioritize similar cruise speeds and regional mission flexibility. For a 1996 serial like 525-0159, buyer and charter demand is influenced by engine hours, maintenance status, and interior condition; the provided valuation of $1,600,000 reflects typical resale considerations for late-model CJ1 airframes.
