Certified in 2010, the CJ4 pushes the CitationJet family to its limit with a more sharply swept wing inherited from the Citation Sovereign. At 835 km/h it catches aircraft a full category above it.
General information

Dimensions and weights
What is the range of the Citation CJ4?
The Cessna Citation CJ4 has a range of 3,556 km, or 1,920 nautical miles with regulatory reserves. At its cruising speed of 835 km/h, that works out at about 4 h 16 of continuous flight. Real-world range falls with the number of passengers, the load and headwinds.
How many passengers can the Citation CJ4 carry?
The standard layout seats 7 passengers. The certified maximum is 9 seats, but a fully loaded aircraft loses range: beyond 7 people, reckon on about 3 % less reach per extra passenger.
How much does it cost to charter a Citation CJ4?
The hourly rate observed on the European market runs from €3,800 to €7,000 for a Cessna Citation CJ4. A two-hour flight therefore comes to roughly €7,600 – 14,000, all in: crew, fuel and landing fees. Most operators apply a minimum billing of one and a half hours.
Which airports can the Citation CJ4 use?
It needs 972 metres of runway to take off and 835 metres to land at maximum weight. That opens up short fields such as Cannes-Mandelieu, Saint-Tropez La Môle or Courchevel-Chambéry. Its service ceiling reaches 45,000 feet, above commercial traffic and most weather.
