Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N894KS, a 2016-built Cessna Citation Latitude (680A) with serial number 680A0031, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). The airframe is owned and operated by KS AIR CHARTER LLC, an LLC based in Bakersfield, CA, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft carries a market valuation of $10,500,000 and its registry records note registered for 10 seats (includes belted lav/crew provisions) as a notable configuration/registration action.
The airframe is typically fitted with an eight-place executive center-club interior as built by the manufacturer, with market configurations commonly seating 8–9 passengers; this particular registration is authorized for 10 seats and includes belted lavatory and crew provisions. Avionics are the standard Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck as fitted in production Latitude 680A examples. Operated from Bakersfield, CA by KS AIR CHARTER LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile aligns with light- to mid-size charter and corporate transport over transcontinental sectors within its 2,700 nm range and cruise speed of 368 kts. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect typical mid-life service items for a 2016 Latitude, including calendar- and cycle-based inspections for the PW306D engines and avionics updates for the G5000 suite.
The Cessna Citation Latitude (680A) occupies the mid-size business jet niche between light and super-midsize categories, offering a balance of range, cabin comfort and operating economics. With twin PW306D powerplants and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the model competes against variants of the Embraer Legacy/Lineage family and Gulfstream/Pilatus offerings in charter and corporate fleets. Demand among buyers and charter operators favors the Latitude for its cabin flexibility (manufacturer/market configs commonly 8–9 pax) and integrated Garmin G5000 avionics; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the established support network for Textron/Cessna products and the ongoing parts and service availability for PW300-series engines.
