About the Cessna Citation CJ2+
The CJ2+ of 2006 is the CJ2 modernised into the light jet operators bought more than almost any other. The headline changes are under the skin: FADEC — full-authority digital engine control — on the uprated Williams FJ44-3A turbofans, automating engine management for smoother, more efficient and more reliable operation, plus a Collins Pro Line 21 glass cockpit. The improvements sharpened climb, speed and single-pilot ease without changing the practical six-seat cabin. The result is a jet so well-judged that it became one of the best-selling business aircraft of its era — and with around 95 in European charter, by far the most numerous light jet on the continent, the one a broker is most likely to source. Range is 2,778 km at 774 km/h. It carries 6 passengers (up to 7). The CJ2+ is the CitationJet at its most refined and most available.
Performance Excellence
Flown by one or two crew, the Citation CJ2+ covers 2,778 km / 1,500 nm at up to 774 km/h (418 ktas) on FADEC-equipped Williams FJ44-3A turbofans, with a Collins Pro Line 21 glass cockpit. Around 95 examples serve European charter at roughly €4,200 per hour — by a wide margin the most numerous light jet in the region. Its case is refinement and availability: digital engine control, modern avionics and sharpened performance in the practical CJ2 cabin, in the best-selling and most readily-sourced light jet on European charter. It is the CitationJet at its most complete.
Cabin Comfort
The CJ2+'s cabin keeps the practical six-seat CitationJet layout — 4.72 m long, 1.47 m wide, 1.47 m tall — but the modernisation reaches the cabin in the details. The FADEC engines run noticeably smoother and quieter, so the cabin is a calmer place than earlier CJs at cruise, and the later production years brought updated materials, lighting and cabin systems. Six passengers in a club-four and pair benefit from the dropped aisle's effective headroom and the bright, well-windowed fuselage the family is known for, now in its most polished form. Because so many CJ2+s fly European charter, this is the small-cabin Citation most passengers will actually experience — the CitationJet interior at its most evolved, in the variant that put the most examples into service.
High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch.
A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
