N357QS

This airframe, registered as N357QS, is a 2007-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0155. The airframe is recorded as owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, indicating its role within a fractional-ownership operator fleet. The aircraft carries a United States registration and is maintained in a fractional/operator configuration for NetJets; valuation listings place its market worth at approximately $7,300,000. Notable registry actions include its placement into operator service under NetJets-related corporate ownership and continued operation in the executive transport role.

The cabin of this specific airframe is configured in a typical nine-place executive layout with a forward galley, club seating, and an aft lavatory, reflecting its fractional/operator interior fit for NetJets. Avionics suites reported for this Sovereign include the Honeywell Primus Epic with FMZ2000 flight management capability, supporting precision navigation and advanced flight management in single-pilot-capable system architecture common to this class. Operationally, the aircraft’s 2,820 nm range and high cruise speed lend it to transcontinental and near-international missions from its operator base in Oklahoma City, fulfilling short- to mid-range executive transport tasks for fractional customers. Maintenance and service patterns follow NetJets’ centralized program standards, with attention to PW306C engine support and Honeywell avionics lifecycle management.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the midsize business jet niche, emphasizing a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance, and efficient cruise speeds near 446 kts. Competing models in its class include other midsize to super-midsize jets offering similar mission profiles; demand from fractional operators and corporate buyers has historically supported resale values like the listed $7,300,000. Maintenance considerations center on PW306C engine time between overhauls and continued avionics support for Honeywell Primus Epic installations, factors that influence operating cost and resale attractiveness for a 2007-model airframe.
