The Single-Pilot Citation CJ3+ Delivers Seating For Nine Passengers
Textron recorded the delivery of the 600th aircraft from the Cessna Citation CJ3 family this week. The milestone Cessna Citation CJ3+ was delivered to an unnamed customer in North America.
“Since joining the Citation family, the Citation CJ3 series has proven to be an incredible performer for customers around the world with the connectivity, price, range and efficient operation that puts it at the top of its category,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight Operations. “The CJ3+ remains a strong performer due to its versatility as COVID-19 limitations have prompted customers to look for alternatives to commercial travel.”
This aircraft features a fresh air system to keep cabin air clean, bringing fresh air from outside into the aircraft through the engines. The engines compress and heat the air eliminating pathogens and germs. The air is then cooled and enters the cabin as cold or warm air, depending on passenger preference.
The Citation CJ3+ boasts useful technology in the cabin and cockpit providing both comfort and productivity for passengers, and efficient operation for either single-pilot operation or traditional two-pilot operations.
The single-pilot Citation CJ3+ delivers seating for nine passengers, and up to 1,000 lb of baggage capacity. With a range of up to 2,040 nautical miles, the Citation CJ3+ can fly single-pilot and up to four passengers nonstop from Washington, D.C. to Mexico City; from London to Moscow; from Shanghai to Bangkok; or from Lima to São Paulo.
The Citation CJ3+ reportedly burns, on average, 10 percent less fuel and costs 5 percent less in maintenance per flight hour compared to some other aircraft.
