Cessna Citation CJ2+ Charter

The Cessna Citation CJ2+ charter stands out in the light jet segment as a refined, high-performing aircraft that blends efficiency with a genuinely comfortable cabin for up to six passengers. As an evolution of the proven CJ2 platform, the CJ2+ introduced winglets and upgraded Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines, translating directly into better fuel economy, a longer range of 1,613 nm, and a cruise speed of 418 knots that keeps regional journeys impressively swift. Its combination of short-field capability, operating economy, and a well-appointed interior makes it a favourite among discerning travellers who refuse to compromise on quality for shorter hops. Prime Jet Services offers access to this exceptional Light Jet from its Dubai base, delivering a seamless, white-glove charter experience from the moment you book.

Technical Specifications

History & Development

The Citation CJ2+ was introduced by Cessna in 2006 as a performance-focused upgrade to the widely respected CJ2, itself a stretched and more capable successor to the original CJ1. Cessna’s engineers addressed operator feedback by fitting winglets and uprated Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines, which delivered measurably better climb performance, reduced fuel burn, and an extended range envelope. The aircraft entered a competitive light jet market with the clear intention of offering operators more mission flexibility without a significant step up in operating costs. Its FAA certification under Part 23 and subsequent adoption by corporate and charter operators worldwide cemented its reputation as a practical, reliable, and pilot-friendly platform.

Cabin & Comfort

Inside the CJ2+, six passengers are accommodated in a club-style or forward-facing configuration with individual seats trimmed in premium leather, creating an atmosphere that punches well above the aircraft’s light jet classification. The cabin height of 1.45 metres allows comfortable movement, while the 1.48-metre width provides a sense of openness that makes the 4.57-metre cabin feel genuinely liveable on regional sectors. Noise levels are well-controlled thanks to soundproofing advances over earlier CJ variants, allowing easy conversation and in-flight productivity. A refreshment area, enclosed or curtained lavatory, and a generous 61 cu ft of baggage space — accessible both internally and via an external rear compartment — round out an interior designed for real-world usability.

Ideal Routes from Dubai

With a range of 1,613 nm, the CJ2+ is ideally suited to connect Dubai with key regional destinations such as Riyadh (approximately 45 minutes), Muscat (under 30 minutes), Karachi (around 1 hour 40 minutes), and Tbilisi in Georgia (roughly 2 hours 30 minutes). These routes represent the aircraft’s sweet spot — fast, efficient, non-stop city pairs where deploying a larger jet would be unnecessary overhead. Whether travelling for business meetings or a quick leisure escape, the CJ2+ delivers speed and style on every sector within its reach.

Compare Similar Aircraft

Clients evaluating the CJ2+ frequently consider stepping up to a slightly larger or longer-range platform depending on their mission profile. The Phenom 300E is the most natural comparison, offering a similar category with enhanced cabin technology, while the Citation Latitude appeals to those requiring a stand-up cabin and transcontinental range. For groups prioritising range and cabin volume above all, the Challenger 350 represents a compelling step into the super-midsize category.
