Why Charter a Citation CJ1 Private Jet?

The Cessna Citation CJ1 is the smart choice for private jet charter on short-haul routes — delivering genuine jet speed, a comfortable flat-floor cabin, and low operating costs that make private flight accessible for city hops and regional business travel without the overhead of larger aircraft.

The Efficient Private Jet

For private charter routes under 1,300 nautical miles, the CJ1 offers one of the most cost-efficient private jet experiences available — arriving faster than any turboprop or commercial alternative, without paying for cabin space or range you don’t need on short city-pair missions.

True Jet Speed at Short-Haul Private Charter Prices

The Citation CJ1 cruises at true jet speeds — reaching Los Angeles from San Francisco, London from Paris, or Atlanta from South Florida in under 3 hours. For business travelers who value arrival time above all else on short-haul private charter routes, the CJ1 delivers without the cost premium of larger jets.

Low Operating Costs, High Private Jet Value

The CJ1’s Williams FJ44 engines are among the most fuel-efficient in private aviation — keeping hourly operating costs significantly below most competing jets. This translates directly to better private charter value for clients flying groups of up to 6 on routes where a larger, more expensive aircraft simply isn’t necessary.
