N88JJ

The airframe bearing tail number N88JJ is a 2009-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, serial 680-0277, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the United States and is owned by STERLING MOTORS LTD, a corporation based in Newport Beach, CA, US. The airframe presents as a typical Sovereign-series example and carries an estimated market value of $7,000,000; no additional publicized transfers or unusual registry actions are recorded beyond its current corporate ownership. The aircraft is configured and operated for executive transport missions from its owner’s Newport Beach location.

The cabin of N88JJ follows the typical 7–9 place executive layout for the Sovereign, featuring an enclosed aft lavatory and a forward refreshment center/galley that supports business and short- to medium-haul charter missions. Avionics fit on this airframe is the standard Honeywell Primus Epic suite common to Sovereign-series examples, enabling modern flight management and situational awareness for single-crew or two-crew operations. Typical missions for this configuration include transcontinental U.S. trips and coastal international hops within the aircraft’s 2,847 nm range, operated from the owner’s Newport Beach base. Maintenance considerations align with medium-heavy corporate turbofan twin programs, with operator maintenance planning driven by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engine maintenance schedules and avionics support packages.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a midsize business jet niche offering transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a 47,000 ft service ceiling, competing with other midsize turbofan models in corporate and charter markets. Buyer and charter demand typically targets operators seeking a blend of cabin comfort and airport performance; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect engine program costs for the PW306C, avionics support for Honeywell Primus Epic installations, and market valuation anchored near $7,000,000 for a 2009 serial 680-0277 example.
