The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light/midsize business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and ceiling capability compared with earlier light jets while remaining more economical than larger cabin jets. Typical competitors include other light-cabin jets of the era with similar mission capability. Buyer and charter demand for Citation II airframes is driven by operating economics, cabin capacity for up to 8 passengers, and proven Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D series engine support. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1994 airframe emphasize completed inspections, engine cycles, and documented maintenance history, all of which are key due diligence items for this specific serial 5500729.
