Over the past 12 months, the Citation Sovereign market has remained notably strong, with available inventory declining approximately 30% year-over-year.  At the same time, asking values have increased roughly 12%, reflecting continued demand for mid-size aircraft offering strong runway flexibility and proven mission capability.  From a transaction standpoint, activity across the Sovereign market remains healthy. Days on market have decreased approximately 25% year-over-year, indicating that well-positioned aircraft continue to attract buyer attention and transact efficiently.  Over the past 12 months, there have been 58 retail sales, with an additional 14 transactions already recorded in 2026, involving aircraft vintages from 2004 through 2009. Looking at supply and demand, the market is currently carrying approximately 4.8 months of inventory, which continues to support competitive conditions within the midsize segment. Buyers remain active, particularly for aircraft with current maintenance, updated avionics, and strong cosmetic presentation. The Citation Sovereign continues to appeal to operators because of its combination of runway performance, cabin comfort, range capability, and operating flexibility.  For many owners, the Sovereign represents an aircraft capable of supporting a wide variety of missions, while maintaining the practical operating characteristics that continue to make the platform attractive in today's market. In summary, the Citation Sovereign market remains strong, with limited inventory and healthy transaction activity continuing into 2026. Overall, I'd characterize the Sovereign market as competitive, and assign it a B demand rating. For owners considering a sale, thoughtful preparation, maintenance status, and overall aircraft condition continue to play an important role in buyer response.

The Sovereign Market continues to tighten with the inventory levels down 37% from a year ago. However, pricing has softened slightly with the average asking price decreasing 16% over the past 12 months. Sovereign's continue to trade actively in the pre-owned market. Aircraft are taking slightly longer to sell, with days on market increasing 2% this time last year. Over the past 12 months, there have been 55 retail sa- sales indicating consistent transaction activity across the fleet. Based on the current supply and demand trends, the three-year-old old OEM backlog for new aircraft continues to support the pre-owned sovereign market. In summary, this market remains strong with supply and demand balanced and in alignment.

Q1 2026 MARKET SNAPSHOT

Aircraft Market Video

The Citation Sovereign brought super-midsize range to a mid-size airframe — Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines pushing range to nearly 2,850 nautical miles while a nine-passenger stand-up cabin provided a genuinely comfortable long-range environment. Collins Pro Line 21 avionics equipped the flight deck, and the aircraft's ability to connect markets that smaller mid-size jets couldn't reach made it a compelling choice for corporate flight departments with demanding route networks. The Sovereign established the template for Cessna's upper-tier strategy and built a loyal operator base that has kept pre-owned values strong well into its production history.
