N425WH

This entry describes a specific airframe, N425WH, a 2004-built example of the Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 with serial number 525-0537. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, a limited liability company based in Huntsville, AL, US; it is operated from that location as its home base. Acquired and held in corporate ownership by TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, the airframe is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet with an assessed market value of $2,200,000 and reflects the condition and valuation typical of early-2000s CitationJets in corporate service.

The airframe is laid out for 8 occupant seats, aligning with light business jet cabin capacities for short to mid-range missions. Operated out of Huntsville, AL, US by its registered owner, the aircraft’s operational profile is defined by a maximum cruise speed of 381 kts and a mission range of 1,161 nm, suitable for regional point-to-point travel. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific jet center on its twin Williams FJ44 series engines each rated at 1,900 lbf, and the airframe’s 2004 build year which factors into continuing airworthiness, component life cycles, and valuation.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light business jet segment produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation), offering a balance of cruise speed and short-to-medium range capability as exemplified by this airframe’s 381 kts cruise and 1,161 nm range. In the market, older CJ1 examples such as this 2004 serial 525-0537 are positioned for corporate owner-operators and charter operators seeking compact, efficient jets; resale value and maintenance costs are influenced by engine hours, avionics fit, and airframe age, reflected in the stated valuation of $2,200,000. Continued demand is typically governed by operating economics for fixed-wing multi-engine light jets.
