About the Cessna Citation CJ1
The Cessna Citation CJ1 is an entry-level light jet produced from 2000 to 2010, designed for owner-pilots transitioning from piston and turboprop aircraft into jet travel. Seating up to 6, the CJ1 cruises at 359 knots with a range of 1,150 nautical miles, powered by twin Williams FJ44-1AP engines. It evolved from the original CitationJet with improved performance and systems.
With fuel burn of approximately 110 gallons per hour, variable hourly costs around $1,800, and annual fixed costs near $280,000, the CJ1 offers some of the lowest jet operating costs available. Its single-pilot certification and straightforward systems make it accessible for owner-operators, while the Cessna service network provides reliable maintenance support.
The Citation CJ1 appeals to first-time jet buyers, small businesses, and pilots seeking an affordable entry into jet ownership. Its simple, reliable design, low operating costs, and gentle handling characteristics make it a practical stepping stone into the jet world. The CJ1 was succeeded by the CJ1+ with improved avionics and performance, and the large Citation fleet ensures strong parts support and knowledgeable technicians across North America.
Produced 2000–2010. Total produced: 350.
