Proven single-pilot economics with a comfortable six-seat club cabin. The value pick for short-haul charters across Texas and the Southeast.
The CJ3+ is the quiet overachiever of the Citation family. It flies 2,040 nautical miles, climbs to 45,000 feet and operates from runways under 3,600 feet — which opens hundreds of small airports that bigger jets simply cannot use.
Inside, the cabin seats six in a club layout with a side-facing seventh seat, and the 65-cubic-foot baggage compartment handles a weekend's worth of luggage for everyone aboard. It is not the widest cabin in the class, but at this price point nothing matches the economics.
At roughly $3,200 per flight hour, the CJ3+ is usually the least expensive jet quote on any given route. For hops under two hours — LA–Vegas, Dallas–Houston, Chicago–Nashville — it is the default answer when budget leads the decision.
