Citation CJ1+
The final, FADEC-smoothed evolution of the original CitationJet airframe.
Refined short-sector flying for up to five — the original CJ at its best.
The CJ1+ closed out the original CitationJet fuselage in its most polished form: FADEC-governed FJ44-1AP engines that manage themselves from take-off to touchdown, a further weight increase, and the updated Pro Line 21 panel with terrain awareness. Just 102 were built before the Garmin-era M2 took the baton.
The airframe's rightness is best proven by what happened next — this exact fuselage-and-wing combination lives on today as the Citation M2. For charter, the CJ1+ delivers that pedigree at the line's friendliest figure.

Frequently asked
What did the CJ1+ add over the CJ1?
FADEC — full digital engine control, a genuine refinement in smoothness and pilot workload — plus slightly more thrust and take-off weight, and terrain-alerting in the avionics. It is the most capable of the short-fuselage CJs.
What can a CJ1+ do in Australia?
The one-to-two-hour map: Sydney–Gold Coast, Brisbane–Hamilton Island, the regional runs. Plan around 1,127 nautical miles with four aboard and reserves.
