Model & Market Context
The airframe registered as N958MG is a 2013-built Cessna 525 Citation M2 with manufacturer serial number 525-0805. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by MGI AIR INC, a corporation based in Dubuque, IA, US. No additional operators or historic transfers are published beyond the current corporate ownership; maintenance and valuation records indicate a market valuation of $4,500,000 for this specific airframe. The airframe's registry and condition notes reflect standard business-jet usage consistent with light-cabin, short-haul operations.
The cabin of the Cessna 525 Citation M2 configured for 8 seats is consistent with light-cabin, executive transport missions—short-to-medium range corporate flights, regional charters, and owner-operator use from its base in Dubuque, Iowa. Avionics for the Citation M2 family typically include the Garmin G3000 suite as standard equipment; however, specific equip for N958MG is not confirmed in the available data. Typical mission profiles for this airframe leverage its 1,540 nm range and 400 kt cruise speed for multi-leg regional trips while offering single-pilot or two-pilot operation depending on operator policy. Maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44-series powerplants and light-jet airframe schedules, with life-limited items and engine inspections driven by hours and cycles consistent with business-jet usage.
The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies the light business-jet niche, offering turbofan efficiency and fast cruise for short to mid-range corporate travel, with a certification ceiling of 41,000 ft that permits favorable flight levels for weather and traffic avoidance. Competing models in the segment include other light jets with similar seating and range; buyers and charter operators prize the M2 for lower operating costs and modern avionics fit (Garmin G3000 on standard variants). Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are driven by engine program participation, avionics configuration confirmation, and documented ownership/maintenance history reflected in the aircraft’s valuation.
