N973KT

This entry documents airframe N973KT, a 2024-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0390. The aircraft is owned by AMERITEX AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Seguin, TX, US, and is registered in the United States. There are no publicly listed prior owners or notable registry actions on file for this airframe beyond its current ownership; the airframe is valued at $22,000,000, reflecting a new-production Citation Latitude fitted to typical executive configuration and modern avionics.

The cabin in N973KT is a flat-floor, stand-up layout approximately 21 ft 9 in long, 6 ft 5 in wide and 6 ft high, arranged in a typical nine-place executive configuration with an enclosed lavatory and a dedicated refreshment/galley area. Avionics are provided by the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck featuring three 14-inch displays, touchscreen controllers and SVT, supporting modern flight-management and situational awareness capabilities. Operated from Seguin, TX under the ownership of AMERITEX AVIATION LLC, the aircraft’s 2,700 nm range and 440-knot cruise speed suit medium-haul corporate missions, air charter sectors and point-to-point business travel within North America. Maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series common practices and Garmin G5000 avionics support pathways typical for factory-new Citations.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, flat-floor executive turbofan niche, offering stand-up cabin comfort and transcontinental regional capability, exemplified here by N973KT. With a 2,700 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling, it competes with similar midsize jets in charter and owner-operated markets where cabin volume and operating economics are prioritized over ultra-long-range capability. Demand for factory-new Latitudes remains steady among corporate buyers and charter operators seeking modern avionics and passenger comfort; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize PW306D1 engine support and Garmin G5000 avionics lifecycle planning.
