About the Cessna Citation CJ2
The Citation CJ2 of 2000 answered the one limitation of the original CitationJet — size. Cessna stretched the fuselage, fitted more powerful Williams FJ44-2C engines and extended the wing, turning the four-seat CJ into a jet that could carry six in real comfort over meaningfully longer distances. Range rose to 2,926 km, enough to link most European city pairs non-stop, and the extra cabin length made the difference between a tight personal jet and a practical small-group aircraft. Single-pilot certified and economical to run, the CJ2 became a mainstay of the light-jet charter fleet. It carries 6 passengers (up to 7), with around 45 in European charter. The CJ2 is the CitationJet grown up just enough — the stretch that made the family genuinely versatile.
Performance Excellence
Flown by one or two crew, the Citation CJ2 covers 2,926 km / 1,580 nm at up to 750 km/h (405 ktas) on Williams FJ44-2C turbofans — more power for the stretched airframe. Around 45 examples serve European charter at roughly €4,000 per hour. Its case is the stretch: the extra fuselage length and engine power that turned the four-seat CitationJet into a practical six-seat light jet with the range to link most European cities non-stop, single-pilot certified and economical — the version that made the CJ family genuinely versatile.
Cabin Comfort
The CJ2's cabin takes the clever CitationJet interior and gives it the length it needed — 4.42 m long, 1.47 m wide, 1.47 m tall — enough to seat six in a club-four and pair rather than the original's four. The dropped aisle carries over, preserving the effective headroom, but the extra fuselage transforms the practical usefulness: there is room now for a sixth and seventh seat, more legroom in the club, and space for the bags six people actually bring. The cabin stays bright and well-windowed, the FJ44 engines keep it quiet, and the longer fuselage gives the whole interior a less compressed, more relaxed feel. It is the CitationJet cabin at the size it always wanted to be — small-jet economy with genuine small-group practicality.
High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
