N943EL

This entry covers airframe N943EL, a 1998-built Cessna 750 Citation X with serial number 750-0043. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate operator RYAN AIR LLC, based in New York, NY, US; it is recorded on U.S. registry under that corporate ownership. Notable registry data indicate continued corporate operation rather than private individual ownership, and current market documentation values this airframe at $4,500,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The cabin on N943EL is configured in the typical Citation X executive arrangement, described as an 8–12 executive seating plan with double‑club seating, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; many listings for this airframe class show eight‑place executive layouts and this airframe is documented as a 12-seat type rating capability. The original avionics fit for the airframe was Honeywell Primus 2000, though many Citation X airframes — including this serial range — have been noted with owner-initiated upgrades to Primus Elite or equivalent mission avionics. Operated from a New York corporate base, the aircraft’s mission profile typically centers on transcontinental and international executive transport enabled by its 3,070 nm range and high-speed cruise of 514 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize engine program adherence for the AE3007C series and value impact from avionics modernization.

As a member of the Citation X family, Cessna 750 Citation X airframes occupy the high‑speed, long‑range business jet niche, with maximum cruise and high ceiling performance (here 514 kts and 51,000 ft) distinguishing them from lighter Citation variants. Competing considerations in the pre-owned market include age (this airframe is a 1998 build), the cost and desirability of avionics upgrades from original Honeywell Primus 2000, and engine time/status on the AE3007C units. These factors — plus the documented corporate ownership and U.S. registration — influence buyer and charter demand and play a central role in resale valuation around the stated $4,500,000.
