The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) is selling its 2013 Cessna Citation M2, with no plans to replace it, the organization confirmed to AIN. The decision to dispose of the business jet was announced internally last week in an email from Luke Wippler, the new AOPA board chairman.
“After hearing from Jill and Katie, the board agreed with their view and made the decision to sell the jet, and I want to be clear about why,” Wippler wrote in the staff memo. “This is not about needing cash. It’s about being thoughtful stewards of member dollars and making sure the choices we make reflect the expectations our members and donors have of us.”
Wippler said the board is working with the acting co-CEOs, Jill Baker and Katie Pribyl, to evaluate where the organization “can do better.” The aircraft will be listed for sale soon.
According to FAA registration records, AOPA acquired the preowned M2 in 2019. The M2 is the latest variant of the CitationJet/CJ1 series.
