About the Cessna Citation CJ3

The Cessna Citation CJ2+ is a light business jet that bridges the gap between entry-level jets and midsize cabin comfort, offering transcontinental range in a package small enough for short runways. Introduced in 2006 as an evolution of the original CJ2, the CJ2+ brought upgraded avionics (Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21), improved cabin soundproofing, and refined aerodynamics while retaining the proven Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines that deliver 2,400 pounds of thrust each. With a maximum cruise speed of 407 knots and a range of approximately 1,700 nautical miles, it carved out a niche among owner-pilots and fractional operators who valued its single-pilot certification, modest operating costs, and ability to access airports with runways as short as 3,200 feet.

The CJ2+ seats up to eight passengers in a flat-floor cabin just under 15 feet long, making it a workhorse for short-haul corporate shuttle missions and air-taxi operations across North America and Europe. Its balanced performance envelope—cruising comfortably in the low 40,000-foot flight levels while sipping fuel at a fraction of what larger jets demand—made it a favorite among fractional ownership programs like NetJets and charter operators seeking reliable, economical point-to-point connectivity. Production continued until 2013, when Cessna replaced the line with the CJ3+ and CJ4, but the CJ2+ remains a staple of the light-jet charter market.
