Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N551KA, is a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built by Cessna (Textron Aviation) in 2000 with serial number 550-0922. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation KAJAPA AIR INC, based in Vienna, WV, US, and is registered in the US. No public record of multiple ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond corporate ownership is provided in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the available dataset.

The cabin on this specific airframe reflects a typical 7–8 place executive arrangement with a forward club and aft seating, a belted lavatory, and a forward refreshment center, supporting executive transport and short-notice charter missions. Avionics fit for the aircraft is reported as the typical Honeywell Primus 1000, which supports common regional and corporate IFR operations and familiar pilot workflows. Based from Vienna, WV under corporate operation by KAJAPA AIR INC, the aircraft is well suited to point-to-point regional hops, transcontinental segments near its maximum range, and high-frequency executive shuttle duties. Routine maintenance considerations align with turbofan twin norms of the type, including attention to the PW530A engines' hot-section inspections and avionics lifecycle updates when operating older Primus suites.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo sits in the light-to-midsize turbofan business jet niche, offering balanced operating economics, a reachable 43,000 ft ceiling, and a typical cruise near 390 kts to serve owners seeking efficient regional performance. Competing models historically include other light-cabin Citations and small-cabin competitors from manufacturers such as Learjet and Embraer; demand often centres on corporate owners and charter operators valuing low hour, well-maintained examples. For buyers and operators assessing resale or continued operation, airframe serial details (550-0922), installed avionics (Honeywell Primus 1000), and engine type (PW530A) are key maintenance and marketability factors.
