Citation CJ2 – Light Jet Charter with Performance and Economy

The Citation CJ2 (Cessna CitationJet Model 525A) is a refined, high-efficiency light jet offering exceptional performance, comfort, and fuel economy. Designed for short to mid-range travel, the CJ2 is ideal for executives, leisure travelers, and small groups who value efficiency and convenience. At JetOptions Private Jets, you can charter this popular aircraft 24/7 with real-time availability and no membership or hidden fees.

Light Jet Design and Performance

The CJ2 builds on the proven success of Cessna’s CitationJet family, blending aerodynamic efficiency with modern avionics and excellent handling. Introduced as an upgraded version of the CJ1, this aircraft features a 2-foot longer cabin, increased fuel capacity, and upgraded Williams FJ44-2C engines. These improvements provide a faster climb rate, longer range, and better performance in hot and high-altitude environments. It’s one of the most balanced light jets in its class, offering an outstanding blend of speed, range, and reliability.

Efficient and Capable Light Jet Charter

With a maximum cruise altitude of 45,000 feet and a climb-to-cruise time reaching 37,000 feet in under 17 minutes, the CJ2 is engineered for efficient travel. It requires only 3,420 feet of runway at sea level, granting access to thousands of smaller regional airports that are unreachable by larger aircraft. This flexibility allows travelers to arrive closer to their final destination, reducing ground transportation time and improving overall convenience.

Compared to its CJ1 predecessor, the CJ2 flies farther and faster while maintaining lower operating costs and reduced fuel burn. It’s a favorite among charter clients for its ability to balance speed and comfort while offering exceptional value per flight hour. The CJ2’s dependable design makes it ideal for business trips, client meetings, and private weekend getaways alike.

Cockpit and Avionics

The aircraft is equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, designed to enhance situational awareness and reduce pilot workload. Many models include upgraded weather radar, autopilot, and terrain awareness systems for enhanced safety and precision navigation. While the CJ2 is certified for single-pilot operation, JetOptions typically charters the aircraft with two experienced pilots, ensuring optimal safety, comfort, and service for every flight.

Cabin Comfort and Layout

  • Up to 6 passengers in a leather-club configuration
  • Fold-out executive worktables and forward-facing seating
  • Quiet, climate-controlled cabin with advanced sound insulation
  • External baggage storage for up to 1,000 lbs of luggage

The CJ2 offers an interior that is both functional and inviting, with a 50-cubic-foot roomier cabin than its CJ1 predecessor. Each seat is designed for ergonomic comfort, allowing passengers to relax or work efficiently in-flight. Club seating arrangements encourage conversation or productivity, and the cabin’s large windows provide excellent natural light. Many configurations also feature refreshment centers and power outlets for onboard convenience.
