N82VK

The airframe bearing tail number N82VK is a 2002-build Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2, serial 525A0103, manufactured by the Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is U.S.-registered and is owned by TNT LEASING LLC, a limited liability company based in Soldotna, AK, US, which serves as the operator/home base for registry purposes. Notable registry actions include its continued U.S. registration under the current owner and routine transfer of title to a corporate lessor; the airframe is recorded with an estimated market value of $3,250,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

This specific CitationJet CJ2 is outfitted in a typical executive cabin layout configured for 2 crew + 6 pax (8-place executive) seating, matching common corporate and charter mission sets for its category. While precise avionics and interior fit for N82VK are not published in the supplied data, the aircraft’s performance and seating suggest use on regional point-to-point missions within its 1,781 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 418 kts. Based in the United States under corporate ownership in Soldotna, AK, the airframe is likely maintained to lessor/operator standards suitable for revenue or corporate transport, with typical maintenance considerations centered on twin Williams FJ44 turbofan support and inspection cycles consistent with a 2002-model Citation.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light business jet niche, offering a blend of high cruise speed and transcontinental regional range for short to mid-length missions up to its 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in this performance bracket include other light jets with similar single-cabin, 6–8 passenger configurations; buyer and charter demand tends to favor airframes with modern avionics and well-documented maintenance histories. For this specific airframe, resale and operating cost considerations will reflect its 2002 vintage, cumulative cycles and engine status for the Williams International FJ44-2C powerplants, and the corporate lessor ownership model under TNT LEASING LLC.
