Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 19 Citation CJ2+ aircraft for sale, including 1 off-market, representing approximately 8.6% of all CJ2+s in service. Availability has increased modestly entering early 2026, reversing some of the tightness observed in late 2025 and giving buyers more options across a range of specifications and maintenance profiles.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $3,500,000 to $4,750,000, with an average 143 Days on Market. While headline pricing remains relatively stable, the market is clearly stratified. Turnkey aircraft with enrolled engines, current inspections, and good pedigree continue to attract consistent attention, while aircraft with damage history or weaker presentation are competing primarily on price.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 9 Citation CJ2+ aircraft have sold (including 2 off-market), transacting between approximately $3,500,000 and $4,800,000, with an average 145 Days on Market. The fact that sold aircraft moved at nearly the same pace as current listings signals a balanced market where pricing discipline and aircraft condition align with buyer expectations.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory has increased modestly, improving buyer choice compared to late 2025.
• Similar days on market for listed and sold aircraft reflects efficient price discovery.
• Premium outcomes remain tied to engine program enrollment and overall pedigree.
• Off-market activity continues to influence higher-pedigree transactions.
• Sellers competing against similar aircraft must lead with pricing accuracy and presentation.
Key Insight
The Citation CJ2+ remains a balanced, execution-driven market: sellers who present clean, high-pedigree aircraft at realistic pricing levels transact efficiently, while buyers retain leverage primarily on aircraft with damage history, lack of engine program or poor cosmetics.
