Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N388QS, is a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign built in 2006 with serial number 680-0113. It is held by NetJets Aviation / NetJets Sales Inc, a United States–based corporation, and is registered in the US. The aircraft has been configured and operated within the NetJets fleet standard for this model, reflecting its role as a fractional ownership corporate transport. Public registry entries identify the owner as a corporate entity based in the United States; further transaction history and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.
The cabin of this specific Sovereign follows a typical NetJets configuration with a 7–9 passenger executive layout that includes a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, optimized for short- to medium-haul corporate missions. Avionics are installed to the common Sovereign fit, listed as Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting advanced flight management and modern cockpit situational awareness. With its published cruise speed of 446 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 47,000 ft, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and select international sectors within its 2,847 nm range, often flown from NetJets’ U.S. operating bases to serve fractional owners’ point-to-point needs.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a niche within the midsize business jet category by combining long range, elevated cruise speed, and high-altitude capability; this airframe’s 2,847 nm range and 47,000 ft ceiling underline that positioning. Typical buyers and fractional operators value the model for its balanced payload-range performance and established Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series powerplants. For fleet operators and future owners, considerations include the aircraft’s avionics fit (Honeywell Primus Epic) and the lifecycle maintenance associated with PW306C engines, factors that influence operating costs and resale dynamics for a 2006-built Sovereign.
