Why choose the Cessna Citation CJ3+?
The Cessna Citation CJ3+ combines a range of about 3,780 km with a cruise of about 770 km/h in the light jet class.

The passenger list and departure time are planned around you.
Jets fly above commercial traffic in calmer air and can use smaller airports with shorter runways. Through our operator network the same model is quoted from several fleets for comparison; if it is not available we offer an alternative in a similar class.
