N948QS

The airframe bearing tail N948QS is a 2024 build of the Cessna 680A Citation Latitude, serial 680A0381, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). It is recorded as owned by NetJets Sales Inc (a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US) and registered in the US; this reflects its use within a fractional ownership/managed fleet environment rather than private individual ownership. The aircraft carries a distributor-stated market valuation of $16,250,000 and is powered by a pair of factory-standard turbofan engines; condition highlights for a new 2024 airframe typically center on warranty status and entry-into-service maintenance tracking. Assigned to NetJets Sales Inc upon delivery, this airframe entered service configured for executive transport consistent with fleet standards.

The interior of this Citation Latitude is outfitted with a forward galley, mid-cabin club/conference seating, and an aft lavatory in a typical 8–10 passenger executive layout; the cabin features a flat floor and a 6 ft cabin height for increased comfort. The airframe carries a Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck which supports contemporary avionics capability for RNAV approaches and advanced flight management systems. Operated within the NetJets fleet framework, N948QS is well-suited to domestic U.S. and transcontinental missions up to its 2,850 nm range and often performs business shuttle, on-demand charter, and fractional-owner point-to-point trips. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft align with factory schedules for PW306D1 engines and Garmin G5000 avionics software/airworthiness updates.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and transcontinental range that competes with models such as the Embraer Legacy 450/500 and Dassault Falcon 2000 light variants. With cruise speeds around 446 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the airframe appeals to fractional-ownership operators and corporate flight departments seeking flexibility and lower operating costs versus larger-cabin jets. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2024 Latitude like N948QS include PW306D1 engine time accumulation, Garmin avionics lifecycle updates, and market demand driven by charter and fleet purchasers.
