Operated by a corporate lessor based in Daytona Beach, FL, US, the aircraft is commonly employed on short- to medium-range business missions within the continental U.S., exploiting a cruise speed of 385 kts and a range of 1,159 nm to connect city-pair markets without enroute stops.

The Cessna 551 (Citation II / II‑SP) occupies a light-to-medium jet niche, offering transregional business transport with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and twin JT15D powerplants delivering 2,500 lbf each. Competing models in its era included other light-cabin business jets offering similar speed and range; demand in the used market is generally driven by charter operators and corporate lessors seeking proven, lower-hour airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its age and serial-specific history—factors that influence inspection schedules, interior refurbishment needs, and marketability under a corporate-leasing ownership model.
