Citation CJ4

Citation CJ4 – Premier Light Jet Charter with Extended Performance

The Citation CJ4 represents the pinnacle of Cessna’s CitationJet family. This is a next-generation light jet combining superior speed, range, and cabin comfort. As the largest and most capable aircraft in the CJ lineup, the CJ4 delivers exceptional efficiency for private travel. Whether you’re flying for business or leisure, it offers the ideal balance of flexibility, comfort, and performance. JetOptions offers on-demand CJ4 charter services with no membership fees, transparent pricing, and access to certified flight crews available 24/7.

Aircraft Overview

Introduced in 2010, the CJ4 brought a significant evolution to the proven CitationJet design. It features a stretched fuselage for additional cabin space, an all-new wing optimized for higher cruise speeds, and advanced systems that reduce pilot workload and improve passenger comfort. Equipped with the Williams FJ44-4A turbofan engines and a Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, the CJ4 combines the simplicity and economy of light jets with the capability and range usually reserved for midsize aircraft.

Flying at altitudes up to 45,000 feet and speeds exceeding 500 miles per hour, the CJ4 is ideally suited for nonstop travel between major cities, resort destinations, or regional hubs. Its short runway capability and fuel efficiency make it one of the most versatile light jets available for charter today.

CJ4 Performance Specifications

Performance and Efficiency

The CJ4 is engineered to deliver extended range and higher cruise speeds than earlier CitationJet models. With a maximum range exceeding 2,100 nautical miles, it can easily complete nonstop flights such as New York to Denver or Dallas to San Francisco. The optimized wing design improves lift and fuel efficiency, while the advanced turbofan engines reduce operating costs and emissions. Requiring less than 4,000 feet for takeoff, the CJ4 can access a vast network of executive and regional airports across North America.

JetOptions clients appreciate the CJ4’s smooth ride and consistent reliability. Its advanced pressurization system maintains a comfortable cabin altitude even at high cruising levels, and the aircraft’s climb performance ensures passengers reach smooth air quickly after departure. It’s a favorite for travelers seeking a high-end experience without moving up to a midsize jet category.

Cockpit and Avionics

The CJ4’s cockpit is equipped with a fully integrated Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, offering advanced situational awareness and flight management capabilities. Features such as MultiScan weather radar, dual FMS, and synthetic vision technology enhance safety and efficiency. The aircraft is certified for single-pilot operation, but JetOptions always provides two experienced pilots for every CJ4 charter, ensuring maximum safety and professionalism.

• Spacious cabin with seating for six in a club configuration
• Optional two-place side-facing divan for expanded capacity
