Cessna CJ2 For Sale
The Cessna Citation CJ2 (Model 525A) is a light business jet manufactured by Cessna in Wichita, Kansas. First delivered in 2000, it is a stretched and more powerful development of the original CitationJet CJ1. The CJ2 was succeeded by the CJ2+ in 2006, which offered improvements to range, payload, and cockpit avionics.
Powered by two Williams FJ44-2C engines, each producing 2,490 pounds of thrust, the CJ2 has a range of approximately 1,613 nautical miles with four passengers. The aircraft seats up to eight passengers in a cabin measuring 15 feet 4 inches long, 4 feet 10 inches wide, and 4 feet 9 inches tall. It is certified for single pilot operation, making it a practical choice for owner operators.
Specifications and Market Position
The CJ2 cruises at 418 knots at its optimal altitude of 45,000 feet. Its balanced field takeoff distance is approximately 3,360 feet, giving it access to smaller regional airports across the UK, Europe, and North America.

The CJ2+ variant added Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines and increased maximum takeoff weight, extending range to 1,780 nautical miles.
