Cessna Citation M2 Price Guide

Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Cessna Citation M2 Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (115.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$71,300/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$250,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$1,600/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 3,500 hrs)$250,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

The M2 burns approximately 115 gph - slightly above the CJ1 and proportional to the speed gain. Operating costs are consistent with the modern light jet category: engine program enrollment, avionics maintenance, and cycle-based inspection items. The G3000 avionics are supported by Garmin's network, with predictable currency and update costs. M2 per-hour costs are modestly above the CJ1, partly offset by higher speed reducing block time.

Buying a Used Cessna Citation M2

Buying a Cessna Citation M2 comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Cessna Citation M2 is a seven-seat light business jet - two turbofan engines, approximately 404 knots cruise, 1,300 nm range, and an FL410 ceiling. It is the modern successor to the CJ1/CJ1+ in the light jet segment, certified for single-pilot operation and equipped with the Garmin G3000 touchscreen avionics suite. At 404 knots and 1,300 nm, it delivers meaningfully more performance than the CJ1 in the same owner-operable light jet category.

M2 versus CJ1 and M2 Gen2. The M2 improves on the CJ1 with more speed, more range, and an additional seat, while keeping single-pilot certification. The later M2 Gen2 extends range further (around 1,550 nm). Buyers comparing the two should weigh range requirement and avionics configuration against the price difference between the production generations.

Modern avionics and single-pilot operation. The G3000 integrated flight deck simplifies single-pilot workload and provides a modern interface for IFR and RVSM operations. For buyers moving up from glass-panel piston or turboprop aircraft, the M2's avionics are a more familiar interface than older analog-panel light jets.

Buy it if you need 1,300-plus nm single-pilot-certifiable light jet performance with a modern avionics baseline - the M2's speed and range sit clearly above the CJ1 while remaining within the light jet operating-cost category.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna Citation M2

What is the Cessna Citation M2?

What is the Citation M2 range and cruise speed?
The M2 cruises around 404 knots with a range of roughly 1,550 nautical miles, depending on payload and reserves — faster and longer-legged than the Mustang it replaced.
