N88AJ

The airframe bearing tail number N88AJ is a 1999-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0885. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by MARATHON MERCHANT LLC, an LLC based in Waukesha, WI, US. Its ownership record shows this single corporate owner as the primary operator/home base association; no other owner history or transfer events are published. The airframe is market-valued at $2,180,000, reflecting its configuration and age.

Specifics of the cabin layout and detailed avionics fit for this individual airframe are not published; therefore, the internal configuration for N88AJ is reported only as an eight-seat arrangement. Based on the aircraft’s certified performance figures, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short to mid-range corporate or private transport flights up to its published maximum range of 1,744 nm at cruise speeds near 400 kts, enabling transregional point-to-point operations. The registered owner, MARATHON MERCHANT LLC of Waukesha, WI, US, is the listed operator/home base association; no public notes on unique cabin amenities, modifications, or exceptional maintenance programs are published for this serial. Maintenance considerations for the airframe would follow the Cessna 550B type requirements and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine support given the installed powerplants.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 550B Citation Bravo family, positioned in the light business jet category for fixed-wing multi-engine operations. With twin PW530A engines producing 2,887 lbf each, the model offers a high single-pilot capability, transregional range and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, characteristics attractive to owner-operators and small charter operators. Market demand for this class typically competes against other light jets offering similar cruise speeds around 400 kts and comparable ranges; resale and maintenance considerations typically hinge on engine time, avionics retrofits, and airframe hours for a 1999-built example like N88AJ.
