About this aircraft
The Citation CJ4 Gen2 refines the CJ4 with cabin, connectivity, and systems updates while keeping the FJ44-4A performance envelope.
It is aimed at operators who want the longest, fastest CJ without leaving the single-pilot light-jet category. Garmin/Collins-era cockpit options and interior refreshes distinguish Gen2 from earlier CJ4 deliveries.
Choose Gen2 when you want current-generation CJ4 comfort on the same mission profile as the original CJ4.
