Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

Citation CJ2

First delivered in 2000, the CJ2 stretched the CitationJet design and used more powerful engines. The later CJ2+ developed its performance without a further cabin stretch.

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

After the original CitationJet, Cessna developed a longer aircraft for customers who needed more passenger positions. The CJ2 received both a stretched fuselage and a larger wing: adding seats also required enough lift and engine power for the heavier aircraft. It established the middle step between the smallest CJ and the later, still longer CJ3.

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.
