N603QS

This airframe, registered N603QS, is a 2018-built example of the Cessna 680A Citation Latitude, serial number 680A0159. It is owned and operated by NetJets Aviation, a United States-based corporate operator, and has remained on the U.S. registry since delivery. The airframe’s records indicate standard fractional operator configuration and managed maintenance under NetJets’ programs. At the most recent valuation point its market value is listed at $16,250,000, reflecting its relatively recent build year and operator-supported maintenance condition.

The airframe features a flat-floor stand-up cabin in the typical 7–9 place executive layout, with NetJets commonly configuring this model for approximately seven passengers; this specific aircraft is noted with a 9-seat certification. The avionics fit is the typical Latitude installation around a Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern glass-panel situational awareness and automated flight management used in fractional operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe under NetJets operation include transcontinental and medium-haul point-to-point corporate transport within the United States and across the Caribbean, leveraging the 2,700 nm range and 440 kt cruise speed. Maintenance is conducted to operator program standards, and the aircraft’s standing with a corporate fractional operator implies routine, documented maintenance cycles and centralized logistic support.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, long-range business turbofan niche with a comfortable stand-up cabin and efficient cruise performance. Competing models in the segment include light/midsize jets offering similar range and cabin dimensions; buyer and charter demand for Latitude airframes is influenced by operator-managed examples like this N603QS, which often present lower operated risk due to program maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (680A0159) are generally favorable given its recent build year (2018), Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 engines, and continuous operation within a major U.S. fractional fleet.
