Cessna Citation CJ1 Description

It is a light jet aircraft for small businesses, developed by the American company Cessna Aircraft Company. For the first time, CJ1 was demonstrated at the NNBA conference in October 1998 in Las Vegas "because the market required new technologies and additional features." Aircraft Cessna Citation CJ1 is a modification of CitationJet, a market leader in the market of jet aircraft for small businesses. There was installed a new system called Collins Pro Line 21, color weather radar, and the total weight was increased by 90 kg.

Strengths

  • Dedicated business-jet cabin
  • Representative charter seating for approximately 5 passengers
  • Access to suitable business-aviation airports, subject to performance checks

Weaknesses

  • Cabin equipment and condition vary by individual aircraft
  • Published range does not establish route feasibility
  • Hourly price can exclude positioning and trip-specific charges
  • Pre-owned acquisition only; base-model production has ended

Best use cases

  • Executive and small-group private travel
  • Multi-city business itineraries
  • Private leisure travel with aircraft-specific seating and baggage checks
