Citation CJ4
The CJ4 is the big one in the CJ family. It has the CJ3's cabin height and width with about two more feet of length, an enclosed lavatory and a cruise near 450 knots, which is quick for a light jet. It reaches the Northeast or Texas from Nashville nonstop with time to spare. Clients pick it when they want light jet pricing with a little more room, a lavatory with a door and a faster ride.

How we estimate bag counts
We allow 60 to 80% of the listed baggage volume for packing. Assumed external dimensions: checked bag 28 × 20 × 12 in; golf travel bag 50 × 16 × 12 in; weekend bag 22 × 12 × 12 in. Counts are rounded down and show separate loads, not a combined allowance. Unspecified extra storage is excluded.
Volume estimates only. Bag shape, compartment doors, weight and fuel requirements determine the final fit. Tell us about mixed luggage, skis or bulky items.
Include your baggage in a quote request →- Airframe year. The CJ4 started in 2010, so every one we source meets the 2005 or newer standard, and the year is on your quote.
- Crew time on type and the inspection history of the specific airplane. We also check which suitable alternatives are available for your dates.
- The load on a hot day or at a mountain field. The CJ4 performs well for a light jet, and a pilot still runs the numbers for Aspen, Destin in July or a full cabin with bags before we recommend it.

Citation CJ4 questions.
How is the CJ4 different from the CJ3?
The CJ4 is longer, faster and carries more. About two extra feet of cabin, a lavatory with a door, about 450 knots against about 415, and about 300 more nautical miles of range. Cabin height and width are the same. Pick the CJ3 for a short leg with four people; pick the CJ4 for seven, or for a three hour leg.
How much does a CJ4 charter cost?
Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range for the light jet category. Your quote will be exact and after the desk reviews the trip.
Can the CJ4 fly Nashville to New York nonstop?
Yes, with a full cabin. Nashville to Teterboro is about 660 nautical miles, and the CJ4 does it in about an hour and forty minutes with reserves to spare.
