N918AM

The airframe bearing tail number N918AM is a 2003-built Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 with serial number 525-0508. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company and is currently registered to owner AMDEL HOLDING LLC (an LLC based in Houston, TX, US). The aircraft’s ownership is recorded under the listed Houston LLC and has remained on the U.S. registry under that corporate ownership. The airframe is valued at $1,900,000, reflecting its configuration, equipment standard for the type, and market position for early-2000s light jets.

This specific CitationJet 1 airframe is configured for an 8-seat cabin consistent with light business-jet layouts that prioritize short-field performance and efficient single-stop regional travel. Typical missions for N918AM would include short- to mid-range corporate shuttle flights and on-demand charter hops within a roughly 1,300 nm envelope at cruise speeds near 377 knots and at altitudes up to 41,000 ft. Avionics fit and interior specifics for this serial are not published beyond standard CJ1 equipment levels, and operational considerations reflect the common maintenance regime for twin Williams FJ44-1A engines with roughly 1,900 lbf thrust apiece. Based in the United States under its registered Houston ownership, the aircraft would most often operate from regional business airports serving Gulf Coast and continental itineraries.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 occupies the light, entry-level jet niche, offering efficient performance and low-hour operating costs relative to larger midsize types. Competitors in its era include other light jets with similar single-pilot capability and short-field performance; buyers seek the CJ1 for economical regional business travel and charter operators value its payload-range balance. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 2003 serial (525-0508) hinge on engine program status, avionics upgrades, and interior refurbishment; its listed valuation of $1,900,000 reflects typical market pricing for well-maintained CJ1s of this vintage.
