About this aircraft
The Citation M2 is Cessna's modern entry jet—successor spirit to the Mustang with Garmin G3000, stronger performance, and a more refined cabin.
Textron markets Gen2/Gen3 updates with autothrottles and Emergency Autoland options, keeping the M2 competitive against Phenom 100 and HondaJet rivals. It is built for short business hops with jet speed and simple ownership.
The go-to Citation when a VLJ must feel like a real light jet.
