Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N41KN, is a 2015-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0178. It is owned by AIR 1 INC, a corporation based in Saint Cloud, MN, US, and carries a U.S. registration.

No other public registry actions are cited for this specific serial in the provided data.
The cabin in this airframe is fitted with a forward two-place divan, a mid-cabin club four seating arrangement, and a belted aft lavatory, delivering the manufacturer’s typical executive layout certificated for up to 11 occupants while commonly used for 8–10 passenger executive missions. Avionics are a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting regional jet-like flight deck functionality and enabling efficient single-pilot or two-pilot operations consistent with corporate and charter use. With a long-range of 2,165 nm and a high cruise of 451 kts, typical missions for this specific CJ4 include transcontinental U.S. hops and short international flights to nearby countries; based operations are consistent with the owner location in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft follow CJ4 type programs, with twin Williams FJ44-4A engines and certified systems requiring OEM-compliant inspections and component tracking for corporate operations.
The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the light business jet market, offering higher speed, range and cabin flexibility than earlier Citation CJ/ CJ2 variants. Competing models include later light-cabin types from Embraer and Bombardier in similar mission roles; buyer and charter demand favors CJ4s for speed, runway performance, and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical CJ4 lifecycle factors: engine time accumulation on Williams FJ44 series powerplants, avionics fit like the Collins Pro Line 21, and overall market value influences tied to year and complete maintenance records.
