Citation 525 Jet Charter Information

Based upon the original Cessna Citation I, the Citation 525 continues the evolution of what has become one of the most successful lines of business jets of all time. More commonly known as the CitationJet, this aircraft gave rise to numerous variants, including the:

  • CJ1
  • CJ1+
  • M2
  • CJ2
  • CJ2+
  • CJ3
  • CJ3+
  • CJ4
  • CJ4+

In total, Cessna has built more than 1,800 of these aircraft, and several offerings remain in production today (M2, CJ3+, CJ4). As a twin-engine light charter jet, the Citation 525 delivers exceptional versatility and comfort, along with low operating costs. For business travelers who want cost-effective charter flights, without sacrificing luxury or performance, this is a solid option. Even though it’s regarded as an entry-level light jet, the CitationJet is a solid performer. Thanks to its Williams FJ44-1AP engines, it achieves:

  • Cruising speeds of 437 mph
  • A range up to 1,300 nautical miles
  • Minimum takeoff distance of 3,210 feet
  • Landing distance of 2,590 feet

A Quiet, Comfortable Cabin Environment

Thanks to the addition of acoustic-blanket soundproofing, the interior of the Citation 525 is as quiet as it is comfortable. There’s plenty of room for six passengers, and the cabin provides just the right environment for executives who need to catch up on some work during their flight. And while the CitationJet’s fuselage is slightly shorter than the original Citation I, it features a lowered center aisle, which provides more headroom for additional inflight comfort. For shorter charter flights and regional travel, the Citation 525 is a logical choice. For instance, if you’re considering a private jet charter from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia, this business jet will handle the mission with ease. At Stratos Jets, our skilled private flight advisors are capable of sourcing aircraft that are well-positioned and well-equipped to meet your jet charter needs. Whether that’s the Citation 525, another competitor in the light jet category, or a different class of private jet altogether, we always strive to find the most suitable aircraft, at the most competitive jet charter rates.
