Cessna Citation CJ2

Radar's rough range is about $3M to $6.7M for a 2014 and $1M to $2.2M for a 2000. From Radar's listing-based estimates for business jets of similar engine thrust and age. These are rough ranges, not appraisals: hours, engines, damage history, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.

What moves the price of any one Citation CJ2: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline shown on this page; a Citation CJ2 with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.

Radar does not list aircraft for sale. It tracks all 281 US-registered Citation CJ2s by tail number, each with its registration record and a value estimate, so you can check a listing against the value of its build year and look up the aircraft's own history before you call.

281 Citation CJ2s are on the US civil aircraft register (FAA file of October 2026), built 2000 to 2014. Aircraft registered in other countries are not counted. Radar has a page for each US registration.

As published for the Cessna Citation CJ2: up to 8 passengers, a range of 1,738 nm (2,000 statute miles), a high-speed cruise of 410 ktas (472 mph), a ceiling of 45,000 ft, a fuel burn of 833 lb/hr (123 US gal/hr), a cabin 4 ft 9 in high, 4 ft 10 in wide and 2 × Williams International FJ44-2C engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.

The Citation CJ2's published range is 1,738 nautical miles (2,000 statute miles), with full fuel, 45-minute reserve, maximum takeoff weight (Cessna CJ2 specification, 2002). Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.

Not nonstop between New York and London: that is about 2,986 nm, against a published range of 1,738 nm. Aircraft with less range than the crossing make it in legs, with fuel stops in Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

Not nonstop. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nm over open water, more than the Citation CJ2's published range of 1,738 nm.

The Citation CJ2 cruises at up to 410 knots true airspeed (about 472 mph), and its maximum operating Mach number is 0.72, as published for the Cessna Citation CJ2.

833 lb/hr (123 US gal/hr), as Cessna publishes it for the Cessna Citation CJ2 (maximum cruise thrust, FL410, 9,500 lb, 404 KTAS (Cessna CJ2 performance table)). Block fuel for a real trip is higher: taxi, climb, weight, altitude and winds all add to it.

The Citation CJ2 is certified to 45,000 feet for the Cessna Citation CJ2. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.

Up to 8 passengers, the most the type is published for (Cessna Citation CJ2). Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Citation CJ2 may seat fewer.

4 ft 9 in high and 4 ft 10 in wide, 18 ft 8 in long, as published for the Cessna Citation CJ2.

Of the 281 US-registered Citation CJ2s, 268 (95%) are registered to companies, trusts and other entities and 13 to individuals. Radar names entity owners only; individuals are shown as privately registered. The most common states of registration are TX (33), FL (22), CA (20).

Radar covers the Citation CJ2 (built 2000 to 2014) and the Citation CJ2+ (built 2005 to 2014). They share this page because people search for them as one aircraft; each has its own section with its specs, value and tail numbers.
