Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N372QS is a 2008-built business jet, a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer serial 680-0201. The aircraft is owned and operated by NetJets Aviation, Inc. and is nominally associated with Columbus, OH, US as the owner's location; it is registered in the US. The airframe’s recorded market valuation is $6,000,000, reflecting its age and configuration as a pre-owned fractional and charter-capable long-range light-to-midsize business jet. Registry entries indicate conventional U.S. registration and operator management consistent with fleet operation by a corporate fractional provider.
The cabin of N372QS is fitted in a typical nine-passenger double‑club layout with a forward refreshment center and an aft lavatory, although the arrangement is noted as operator-configurable and therefore may be adjusted within NetJets fleet standards. Avionics aboard the type are typically a Honeywell Primus Epic fit for the Sovereign family, supporting advanced flight management and integrated systems monitoring appropriate to composite fractional flight operations. Operationally, the aircraft’s performance — notably its nearly 3,000 nm range and 459-knot cruise — positions it for transcontinental and regional business missions under fleet scheduling and charter rotation managed from the operator’s base. Maintenance and dispatch follow corporate fleet programs and NetJets’ centralized maintenance regimes rather than owner-private maintenance schedules.
The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a niche between light and midsize business jets, offering increased range and cabin comfort relative to smaller Citations while retaining single-aisle operational economics. Competing models in the market niche include other midsize and super-midsize jets offering similar transcontinental capability; demand is driven by fractional ownership, charter operators, and corporate flight departments. For a 2008 airframe like N372QS with a valuation of $6,000,000, resale considerations typically factor in maintenance program status, avionics fit such as the Honeywell Primus Epic, and remaining lifecycle of the PW306C engines under overhaul programs.
