The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering a balance of speed (404 kts), modest range (1,550 nm), and single-pilot capability suitable for short- to medium-haul corporate missions. Competing models in this segment include other light jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Honda (small-cabin types), where buyers and charter operators prioritize operating economics, dispatch reliability, and runway performance. For resale and maintenance, factors tied to this airframe—its 1998 build year, serial 525-0286, and twin Williams FJ44-1A powerplants—will influence marketability and maintenance records review during acquisition or remarketing.
