Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

Citation CJ1

Introduced in 2000, the CJ1 updated the original CitationJet with revised instruments and a higher permitted weight. It did not add cabin length.

Citation CJ1+

The CJ1+ adds newer engine control and more speed to the compact CJ1 cabin. Four main seats remain the useful reference for a comfortable group.

Citation CJ2+

The CJ2+ combines a six-seat cabin with more range than the earlier CJ2. It is useful when a compact jet needs to cover a longer regional route.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The original CitationJet had established Cessna’s new small-jet family during the 1990s. When the longer CJ2 joined the range, the shorter aircraft became the CJ1. Its role remained the same: a few passengers in a compact cabin. The name change came with equipment improvements, rather than a move into a larger aircraft class.

Introduced in 2000, the CJ1 updated the original CitationJet with revised instruments and a higher permitted weight. It did not add cabin length.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.45 m.

Will my aircraft have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
