Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N525WL is a 2008-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3, serial number 525B0237, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). This specific airframe is owned by GEORGIA AIR SOUTH INC, a corporation based in Valdosta, GA, US, and it is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe’s documented market valuation is $4,600,000, reflecting its position as a late-2000s light-cabin Citation optimized for owner-operators and charter operators operating regional point-to-point missions. No additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the current corporate ownership are published in the supplied data.

The airframe configuration for N525WL supports an eight-seat cabin typical of the Citation CJ3 layout, intended for a combination of executive transport and on-demand charter missions. Typical operations for this aircraft from its owner base in Valdosta, GA would include regional trips across the southeastern United States and transcontinental legs within its published range of 2,040 nm when payload and fuel planning allow. While specific avionics fit and bespoke cabin amenities for this serial are not listed in the supplied data, the CJ3 line commonly features modern glass flight decks and club-style seating optimized for short to medium-haul business missions. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe focus on jet-engine scheduled inspections for the two Williams FJ44-3A powerplants and typical light-cabin airframe shop visits consistent with an aircraft of the 2008 build year.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-business-jet niche, offering a blend of efficient turbofan performance and compact cabin utility. With a cruise speed around 417 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, it competes with similarly sized aircraft in the light-jet class for owner-operators and regional charter fleets. Typical buyers prioritize mission flexibility, operating economics, and resale considerations tied to engine type and maintenance history; as configured, N525WL benefits from the commonality of the Williams FJ44-3A engines but will be evaluated on hours, cycles, and completed maintenance programs when traded or chartered.
