The documented cabin configuration for this specific CJ2 lists a typical single-pilot plus six-passenger executive layout, yielding 8 seats in total and reflecting common corporate transport missions. Avionics are fitted in the commonly installed Collins Pro Line 21 suite for the CJ2, supporting standard IFR operations, regional point-to-point travel and charter work within the plane’s 1,550 nm ferry/range capability. Based on ownership location, operations are likely centred on or near Portland, OR, US, though specific operator schedules or itineraries are Not published.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light jet niche, offering moderate intercity range and relatively high cruise speed for its class with a 410 kt cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing against contemporaries in the light business jet segment, its market appeal is driven by efficiency for short-to-medium sectors and lower operating costs relative to larger cabin jets. Resale considerations for a 2004 airframe valued at $3,500,000 typically include inspection of time-on-airframe, engine cycles for the WILLIAMS FJ44-2C pair, avionics currency (here Collins Pro Line 21) and logbook-supported maintenance history, all key factors affecting buyer and charter demand.
