Valuations Based on How Citations Actually Trade
Technical Oversight That Protects You
A Straightforward Process
Where Citation Buyers Get Blindsided
By the time the transaction closes, you shouldn’t be left second-guessing the aircraft’s condition, value, or long-term ownership considerations.
High-cycle use, owner-flown versus professionally crewed histories, engine program gaps, and avionics upgrade requirements can influence value and long-term ownership costs–often more than airframe age or total time alone.
Without Citation-specific insight, those differences may only become clear later in the process, when options are more limited.
Helping Citation Owners Make Informed Decisions
At Swartz Aviation, success isn’t just closing a deal. It’s ensuring the aircraft performs as expected long after the transaction is complete.
We evaluate Citation CJ1, CJ2, CJ3, XLS / XLS+, and Sovereign aircraft through three practical lenses:
Technical:
inspection status, maintenance planning, engine and parts programs
Market:
recent transaction activity and buyer behavior, not just asking prices
Operational:
how the aircraft has actually been flown and how you plan to use it
