Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N505QS, is a 2016-built Cessna Citation Latitude 680A with serial number 680A0042 manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Columbus, OH, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe’s provenance is notable for its placement within a large fractional ownership fleet; ownership by NETJETS SALES INC marks a commercial operational profile rather than private single-owner use. No separate operator or recent registry actions beyond the recorded corporate ownership are published here; condition and valuation highlights are not published in the supplied data.
The cabin on this specific Cessna Citation Latitude 680A is fitted in a typical executive 8–9 place layout, featuring a flat‑floor interior with a 6.0 ft cabin height and class‑leading external baggage capacity of approximately 127 cu ft, consistent with operator expectations for business and charter missions. Avionics are the standard Garmin G5000 suite, supporting modern integrated flight management, situational awareness, and single-pilot capable features often demanded in fractional and charter operations. Given its ownership by a corporate fractional entity, common missions for this airframe include short- to medium-haul executive transport and on-demand charter flights from the operator’s base of record in Columbus, OH, US, with maintenance cycles aligned to fleet standards rather than private-owner schedules.
The Cessna Citation Latitude 680A occupies the mid-size, transcontinental business turbofan niche, offering a balance of single-aisle cabin comfort and long-range capability. With a cruise speed of 446 kts and a range of 2,700 nm, the platform competes with similar midsize jets for charter and fractional customers seeking efficient corporate transport. Fleet ownership by corporate entities like NETJETS SALES INC typically influences maintenance regimes, utilization rates, and resale considerations, as aircraft maintained to fractional program standards often present different market liquidity and service-history profiles than owner-flown examples.
