Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N689VP, is a 1991-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0689. The aircraft is recorded as owned by N689VP LLC, a corporation based in Pasadena, TX, US, which serves as its primary operator and home base. The airframe is a United States-registered fixed-wing multi-engine jet and has retained its eight-place executive configuration through the documented ownership. No other registry actions or transaction history are published for this specific tail in the provided data.

The cabin of N689VP follows a typical eight-place executive layout with a forward galley and club seating, configured for corporate and private transport missions. Avionics fit is not published for this specific airframe in the provided data. Operationally, the aircraft’s combination of a near-2,000 nm range and 369-knot cruise speed suits intercity and transregional business missions, enabling non-stop flights across much of the continental United States and to nearby international points. Routine maintenance considerations reflect the twin JT15D-4 engines and airframe age (1991 manufacture), and continued operation under N689VP LLC implies corporate management and maintenance oversight based out of Pasadena, Texas.

The airframe is a member of the Cessna 550 Citation II family, built by Cessna (Textron Aviation), which fills a light to midsize business jet performance niche characterized by modest operating costs and practical short- to mid-range capability. With two JT15D-4 turbofans providing 2,500 lbf each and a 43,000 ft ceiling, the Citation II competes with contemporaries in the light-cabin business jet segment. Buyer and charter demand typically focuses on operators valuing economical cruise speeds and efficient regional range; maintenance and resale considerations for this 1991 airframe revolve around engine life cycles, avionics currency, and interior refurbishment relative to market expectations.
