The airframe, registered as N579M, is a Cessna Citation Bravo (Model 550) built in 2006 with serial number 550-1133. The aircraft is owned by registered operator JET AIR INC, a Corporation based in Galesburg, IL, US, and is held on the U.S. registry. The record indicates standard corporate ownership with no additional publicized transfers or incidents; registered to JET AIR INC in Galesburg, IL reflects the primary operator/home base.

This specific Citation Bravo is configured in an executive cabin layout for seven to eight passengers with a center-club seating arrangement and a belted lavatory, supporting corporate transport and short-to-medium international hops. Avionics commonly fitted to this airframe type include the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, a configuration noted as typical for the model and relevant to this aircraft. With a cruise of 394 kts and a range of 1,744 nm, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point business missions, regional charters, and owner-operated flights based from Galesburg, IL, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with mid-2000s Citation Bravo practices, including attention to Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine cycles and avionics upgrades when transitioning between owners or charter operators.

The Cessna Citation Bravo (Model 550) occupies a light-cabin turbofan niche focused on efficient short-to-medium haul corporate transport with high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft. Competing models in the same class target similar mission profiles and seat counts; buyer and charter demand for a well-maintained 2006 Bravo centers on operational economics, avionics fitment, and engine time. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include engine life limits on the PW530A pair and the value impact of avionics like the Honeywell Primus 1000; the listed valuation of $2,200,000 reflects these lifecycle and market-position factors.
