The Cessna CitationJet/CJ series (Model 525) are American turbofan-powered light corporate jets built by the Cessna Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas. The Citation brand of business jets encompasses seven distinct "families" of aircraft. The Model 525 CitationJet was the basis for one of these families, which encompasses the CJ, CJ1, CJ1+, CJ2, CJ2+, CJ3, and CJ4 models. The Cessna Citation CJ1 (also Model 525) was developed as an improved version of the original CitationJet. The CJ1 improved on the CitationJet by adding a more-modern EFIS avionics suite and a moderate increase in maximum takeoff weight.

Frequently asked about Cessna Citation CJ1+ charter
- How much does it cost to charter a Cessna Citation CJ1+?
- Cessna Citation CJ1+ charter pricing varies by route, time to departure, and operator. Empty leg pricing on the Cessna Citation CJ1+ is typically 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter, and operators can set a listing's price to step down as departure approaches. A full on-demand charter on the same aircraft is the right product for fixed-date trips.

- Are there Cessna Citation CJ1+ empty leg flights available?
- SkyAccess currently has 2 upcoming Cessna Citation CJ1+ empty leg flights published across partner operators. Inventory turns over hourly as operators publish new positioning legs and existing legs are booked — set a saved-search alert on the model to be notified when new Cessna Citation CJ1+ empty legs appear.
- Is the Cessna Citation CJ1+ a safe aircraft to charter?
- The Cessna Citation CJ1+ is a type-certificated airframe. Safety at the trip level depends on the operator, not the airframe model — every operator on SkyAccess holds an active air carrier certificate (Part 135 in the U.S., or the equivalent authority abroad), and many carry additional third-party audits (ARGUS, Wyvern, IS-BAO). Check the operator's profile for their specific certification and audit history.
