Model & Market Context

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing U.S. registration N55VY, a 2008-built Beechcraft 390 Premier IA with serial number RB-253. The aircraft is owned by ATLANTIC KINGAIR INC, a corporate owner based in Centerville, DE, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe’s recorded valuation is $2,000,000, reflecting its condition and market position for a mid‑2000s light business jet; no other ownership transfers or registry actions are published in the supplied data.

N55VY is typically outfitted in the common Premier IA executive configuration with an executive six‑place club seating arrangement, a forward galley and an aft lavatory, matching the supplied cabin description for this model. The airframe is commonly equipped or upgraded with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, a fit that supports business missions requiring modern navigation, communications and flight management capabilities. With an approximate cruise of 369 kts and a range of 1,350 nm, typical operations for this airframe would encompass regional corporate trips and charter missions originating from its owner/operator base in Centerville, Delaware. Maintenance considerations on this individual Premier IA would follow the twin Williams FJ44‑2A turbofan engine program and airframe inspection cycles typical for a 2008 model year light business jet.

The Beechcraft 390 Premier IA occupies the light, high‑speed turbofan niche, offering high cruise speeds and a hard‑surface composite cabin structure for a compact business jet. Competing models in its segment include other entry to light business jets that emphasize short‑field performance and efficient regional range. Demand for factory‑built Premier IAs in the pre‑owned market is influenced by engine time, avionics fits such as Collins Pro Line 21, and cabin configurations; resale considerations for this airframe are reflected in the stated value of $2,000,000 and its 2008 serial RB-253 production pedigree.
