About this aircraft
The Citation CJ1+ upgrades the CJ1 with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and refined systems while keeping the short-cabin CJ footprint.
It is the modernized entry point of the classic CJ stack—easier cockpit workload than steam-gauge predecessors, still sized for small groups and short sectors. Textron support and parts commonality help keep utilization high.
Ideal when you want CJ operating costs with glass-cockpit capability.
