Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N550AB, is a 1990-built Cessna 550 Citation II with manufacturer's serial number 550-0633. The aircraft is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is currently owned by ABT AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Bay City, MI, US, which appears as the primary registrant on U.S. records. The US registration for this fixed-wing multi-engine business jet has remained with a single corporate owner in recent listings, with no publicly listed prior owners in the provided data. Valuation notes for this specific airframe list a market value of $1,000,000, which reflects condition and market position for its year and model.

The cabin of this Cessna 550 Citation II is configured for 8 seats consistent with typical light-cabin layouts for the type, supporting short- to mid-range business missions. Operated from its home base in Bay City, MI, US under ABT AVIATION LLC, its mission profile would typically include regional business transport and charter employment across ranges up to 1,998 nm at cruise speeds near 399 kts. Specific avionics fit and interior refurbishments for this airframe are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations for a 1990 airframe of this model include age-related inspections and engine cycles for the JT15D-4 powerplants. The aircraft’s U.S. registration under a corporate operator suggests organized maintenance tracking and centralized operational control.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light, twin-engine business jet segment with a maximum operating ceiling of 43,000 ft, offering operators a balance of speed and efficiency for regional missions. Typical competitors include other light bizjets of its vintage; buyer and charter demand for late-1980s/early-1990s airframes often hinges on maintenance history, avionics upgrades, and overall time-in-service, factors implicit in the listed $1,000,000 valuation. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (550-0633) will center on JT15D-4 engine condition, structural fatigue inspections, and any avionics modernization undertaken by the corporate owner.
