N484J

This article describes airframe N484J, a Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) in 1994 with serial number 525-0048. The airframe is recorded as owned by SOUTHERN AIRWAYS LLC, an LLC based in Ridgeland, MS, US, and is registered in the US. Ownership by SOUTHERN AIRWAYS LLC and registration in the United States are the primary recorded registry actions; resale listings and maintenance history are not published here. The aircraft is currently valued at $1,700,000, reflecting its model year, equipment fit and light-jet market positioning.

The airframe carries a typical 5–6-place executive interior that is certified up to 8 seats, consistent with common CJ1 cabin layouts; the installed seating capacity for passenger operations is eight. Avionics on this airframe are consistent with CJ1 equipage and are listed as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight-management tasks for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Operated from Ridgeland, Mississippi, the aircraft’s combination of 1,300 nm range, 381 kt cruise speed and a 41,000 ft ceiling suits short- to mid-range corporate missions, charter hops and positioning flights typical of light business jets. Maintenance and specific interior outfitting beyond the typical executive layout are not published.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and runway flexibility for point-to-point regional transport. With twin Williams FJ44-1A engines and a 1,300 nm mission capability, it competes with other entry-level light jets in charter and owner-operated markets. Buyer and charter demand for CJ1s historically centers on efficiency for short haul business travel, while resale considerations focus on airframe age, avionics fit such as Pro Line 21, engine time on the FJ44-1A series, and completion condition; this particular airframe’s 1994 vintage and listed valuation reflect those factors.
