Cessna Citation CJ2 Market Position
The Citation CJ2 and CJ2+ replaced the CitationJet with more powerful Williams FJ44-2C engines and improved range. The type seats up to eight passengers and achieves 1,613 nautical miles. It remains popular with owner-operators transitioning from turboprops to jet equipment.
Performance Profile
The Cessna Citation CJ2 cruises at 418 knots with a published range of 1,613 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Williams FJ44-2C. An operating ceiling of 45,000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Cessna Citation CJ2 typically seats 8 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter & Availability
PR-TAP is registered in Brazil under the ANAC Brazil. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Cessna Citation CJ2 platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Light jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
