Cessna Citation CJ2
The airplane operators buy when they've done the math: simple, efficient, and everywhere in the charter fleet.
Rates are the light jet class band from our estimator. A specific Cessna Citation CJ2's quote depends on its operator, age, and home base.
The CJ2 is one of the most common light jets in on-demand charter, and there is nothing mysterious about why. It is a plain, efficient airplane. It starts, it flies, it comes home, and an operator can run it reliably and price it low enough to win the quote. The CitationJet family was drawn up around simplicity: certified for a single pilot, gentle handling, economics that add up. The CJ2 stretched the original just enough that a group with bags fits.
For the standard one-to-two-hour hop, LA basin to Vegas or Scottsdale, Miami out to the islands, the CJ2 is often the value line on the quote sheet. What you give up against a midsize jet is width, not ability. The cabin is a snug tube, you will be knee to knee with whoever is across from you, and on a 90-minute leg you will be on the ground before you notice. The door closes, the engines spool, and you are climbing.
