About

Citation CJ3+

The Citation CJ3+ builds on the success of the CJ3 with advanced avionics, a refined interior, and improved systems integration—further solidifying its position as one of the most capable and comfortable light jets in the market. The CJ3+ introduces the Garmin G3000 avionics suite, bringing a fully integrated, touch-screen flight deck with enhanced situational awareness and intuitive control for single-pilot operation. Inside, a redesigned cabin offers upgraded materials, modern styling, and smarter connectivity, creating a quieter and more sophisticated environment for passengers. Retaining the extended CJ3 cabin, the CJ3+ seats six passengers in a club configuration with an interchangeable side-facing seat and belted lavatory seat, offering flexible layouts for up to eight occupants. Powered by FADEC-equipped Williams FJ44-3A engines, the CJ3+ climbs directly to 45,000 feet in 27 minutes, cruises at 416 knots, and delivers a range of approximately 1,800 nautical miles. Elegant, efficient, and technologically advanced, the Citation CJ3+ continues the CJ legacy with a perfect balance of performance, comfort, and simplicity.
