Fleet Size & Availability
As of March 19, 2026, there are 6 Citation CJ4 Gen2 aircraft for sale, including 3 off-market opportunities, representing 4.2% of the fleet.
Inventory has remained constrained over the past six months, ranging from 3 to 7 aircraft available, with a recent increase to 7 aircraft in February before settling back to 6 currently. This reflects a consistently tight supply environment, with limited publicly available opportunities.
The relatively high proportion of off-market activity underscores the importance of access in this segment, where a meaningful portion of transactions occur outside of traditional listing channels.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $11.2M to $13.695M, with valuation driven by model year, total time, remaining warranty coverage, program enrollment (TAP Blue, ProParts), and equipment.
With only six aircraft available, the CJ4 Gen2 market remains highly competitive, particularly for well-optioned, low-time aircraft. Buyers in this segment are typically well-informed and focused on acquiring aircraft with optimal specifications and minimal compromise.
Average days on market for active listings is 85 days, indicating strong absorption and efficient transaction velocity, particularly compared to earlier-generation Citation models.
Sales Activity (Last 6 Months)
A total of 7 aircraft have sold over the past six months, including 3 off-market transactions, representing 4.9% of the fleet. Sold prices ranged from $10.0M to $13.5M, closely tracking current asking levels and reinforcing strong value retention in this segment.
Transaction activity has shown recent acceleration, with 3 sales in September, 4 in October and November, declining to 2 in December and January, before surging to 7 transactions in February. This spike reflects renewed buyer engagement and improved deal flow entering 2026.
Aircraft that traded averaged 125 days on market, demonstrating consistent demand and efficient execution, particularly for well-positioned aircraft.

Key Insight

In this market, success is driven by access and timing, with the best opportunities often transacting quickly—and frequently off-market—before broader exposure.
