N816QS

The airframe bearing tail number N816QS is a 2021-built example of the Cessna 700 Citation Longitude, manufacturer Textron Aviation Inc, with serial number 700-0051. It is owned by the corporation NETJETS SALES INC, based in Columbus, OH, US, and is registered in the US; the airframe is operated in the NetJets executive fleet configuration and carries a survey valuation of $25,000,000. Entered into the NetJets portfolio as a factory-delivered 2021 airframe, this particular aircraft’s paperwork reflects corporate ownership and operator configuration rather than individual private registry. No separate leasing or export events are published for this tail to date.

The cabin of this specific airframe is fitted in the NetJets 14-seat executive layout (operator configuration) and measures 25 ft 2 in × 77 in × 72 in, providing a corporate-oriented interior tailored for short- to long-range mission flexibility. Avionics are configured with a Garmin G5000 suite, supporting the flight crew on transcontinental and transoceanic trips within the aircraft’s 3,500 nm range and high-speed cruise profile. Typical missions for this airframe include owner/occupier and fractional operator point-to-point business travel; the 14-seat layout emphasizes capacity and flexibility over ultra-luxury bespoke appointments. As a fleet aircraft under corporate ownership, maintenance and service follow NetJets’ centralized program schedules, which impacts downtime profiles and resale marketing compared with individually maintained examples.

The Cessna 700 Citation Longitude occupies the large-cabin super-midsize segment, offering high cruise speed and long-range capability relative to competitors. With twin Honeywell HTF7700L engines producing 7,665 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type competes with other long-range business jets for fractional and corporate buyers seeking balanced operating costs and cabin size. As a 2021 factory-built example owned by a major fractional operator, considerations for resale emphasize fleet maintenance history, standardized interior configuration, and operator-certified records, which typically support stronger marketability compared with disparate privately configured airframes.
