N559QS

This entry documents airframe N559QS, a 2017-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude bearing serial number 680A0090. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc and is registered in the United States to the corporate owner NETJETS SALES INC, headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK. Registered as part of the NetJets fractional fleet, the airframe is typically operated in a fractional/charter role from the owner’s Oklahoma City base and has been valued at approximately $16,000,000. The airframe’s ownership and registry status reflect its place in a managed, high-utilization fleet rather than a single-owner private operation.

The cabin on this specific Citation Latitude is configured in a typical flat-floor layout accommodating 8–10 passengers with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory; fractional/charter interior variants common in the NetJets fleet are typical for this airframe. Avionics are provided by a Garmin G5000 integrated flightdeck installation, supporting advanced navigation, flight management, and crew situational awareness for demanding regional and transcontinental missions. With a cruise speed of 446 knots and a range of 2,700 nautical miles, the aircraft is routinely employed on business travel and short transcontinental sectors where speed, comfort, and access to smaller airports are prioritized. Maintenance and operational cycles reflect NetJets’ managed program practices, emphasizing regular checks and high dispatch reliability for fractional operations.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies a midsize business jet niche offering pressurized-cabin comfort, transcontinental range, and lower operating costs relative to larger-cabin jets. Powered by twin PW306D1 engines producing 5,907 lbf each, the model competes with other midsize types in charter and fractional markets where cabin flexibility and runway performance are important. Demand from fractional operators and charter providers sustains a steady resale and aftermarket market, though values and remarketing are influenced by utilized-condition, avionics fit like the Garmin G5000, and fleet-management pedigrees—factors that contribute to the stated $16,000,000 valuation for this airframe.
