Fleet Size & Availability
As of March 10, 2026, the Citation CJ2+ market shows 18 aircraft for sale, including 2 off-market opportunities, representing 8.1% of the fleet.
Inventory has remained relatively stable over the past six months, moving from 14 aircraft in September to a peak of 19 in January, before settling at 18 aircraft in February. This consistency suggests a balanced level of supply, without the tightening seen in some newer Citation models.
Off-market opportunities represent a smaller portion of available inventory, indicating that the CJ2+ market remains largely driven by visible, on-market transactions.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $3.395M to $4.75M, with values driven by total time, engine program enrollment, and overall aircraft pedigree including damage history.
The CJ2+ continues to benefit from strong buyer interest due to its performance capabilities, particularly for operators seeking a step-up aircraft within the light jet category that are also considering the CJ3.
Average days on market for active listings is 155 days, indicating moderate transaction velocity and reinforcing that buyers remain selective.
Sales Activity (Last 6 Months)
A total of 11 aircraft have traded over the past six months, including 2 off-market transactions, representing 5.0% of the fleet. Sold prices ranged from $3.45M to $4.8M, aligning closely with current asking levels.
Transaction activity has been relatively steady but modest, with no recorded sales in September, followed by 2 sales in October and November, increasing to 3 transactions in December, dipping to 1 in January, and rebounding to 3 in February.
Despite stable inventory levels, transaction volume remains limited, suggesting that absorption is moderate and not keeping pace with total available supply. Aircraft that did transact averaged 135 days on market, outperforming current listings.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory remains stable, indicating a balanced but not supply-constrained market
• Transaction volume is modest, with limited sales relative to available inventory
• Absorption remains moderate, with no strong acceleration in demand
• Pricing remains stable, supported by consistent buyer interest
• Aircraft with strong pedigree continue to outperform
Key Insight
The Citation CJ2+ market is stable but measured.
As of March 2026, supply and demand appear relatively balanced, but transaction activity remains modest, indicating that buyers are engaged but selective. Unlike newer models where scarcity drives urgency, the CJ2+ market is characterized by steady availability and disciplined buyer behavior.
In this segment, outcomes are driven by aircraft-specific value and positioning, with upgraded and well-maintained aircraft continuing to achieve the strongest results.
