N731DY

The airframe bearing registration N731DY is a 2018-built Cessna Citation Latitude (680A), serial number 680A0128, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is owned by DND AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Jacksonville Beach, FL, US, and is registered in the United States. The current registration and corporate ownership reflect its owners’ Jacksonville Beach base of operations and any operator-specific equipment choices. Valuation for this individual Latitude is listed at $16,000,000, consistent with late-model market pricing for well-equipped examples.

This specific Citation Latitude typically features a standard executive cabin configured as a flat-floor, forward galley/refreshment center arrangement accommodating a 8–9-place executive interior; operator-specific layouts vary and this airframe is commonly found configured for nine seats. Avionics fit for the model is typically the Garmin G5000, supporting integrated flight management, synthetic vision and advanced flight decks suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator SOPs. Based from Jacksonville Beach, FL, the airframe is well suited to transcontinental and Caribbean missions within its 2,700 nm range, frequently used for corporate transport, charter, and owner-operated business travel. Routine maintenance considerations align with the Latitude platform—two PW306D1 engines and typical part-commonality with the 680A fleet—affecting scheduled shop visits and component tracking.

The Cessna Citation Latitude (680A) occupies the mid-size business turbofan niche, balancing cabin comfort with transcontinental performance (approximately 446 kt cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling). Competing models include midsize jets from Bombardier and Gulfstream families that vie on range, cabin size and operating cost. Demand from buyers and charter operators remains strong for late-model Latitudes due to favorable operating economics and a well-supported aftermarket; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its relatively recent 2018 build year and the support network for PW306-series engines.
