About Light Jets

The light-jet category is led by the Cessna Citation CJ3 — a published range near 2,040 nautical miles, seating up to eight, with cruise speeds around 416 knots and a 45,000-foot ceiling.

Real jet performance and short-field capability make it a direct step up from turboprops when altitude and speed matter on mid-range routes.

For travelers who want jet speed without a larger aircraft footprint, the CJ3 delivers schedule control and privacy on demand.
