Citation VII Overview

Legacy Midsize Jet – Limited Charter Availability

The Cessna Citation VII was once a leader in the midsize business jet category, known for its speed, reliable performance, and comfortable cabin. Based on the Citation VI platform, the VII introduced upgraded engines and refined interior options, making it a popular choice in its era for short- to mid-range travel.

While this model is no longer in production and has been largely replaced by newer aircraft in the Citation family, a select number of Citation VII jets remain in operation through a limited number of charter providers.

JetOptions specializes in premium aircraft solutions and does not actively promote legacy charters. However, in some cases, a Citation VII may be sourced based on client needs and availability.
