Light jets

Citation Bravo

Seven seats, a cabin a little wider than the CJs and runway numbers that suit smaller airports. The Citation Bravo is an older light jet, built from 1997 to 2006, which is why it often quotes at the low end of the category. We offer one only after the records review our standard requires, and we tell you its year.

How we estimate bag counts

We allow 40 to 55% of the listed baggage volume for cases and 30 to 40% for golf bags, which pack poorly in nose and tail compartments. Assumed external dimensions: checked bag 28 × 20 × 12 in; golf travel bag 50 × 16 × 12 in; weekend bag 22 × 12 × 12 in. Counts are rounded down and show separate loads, not a combined allowance. Unspecified extra storage is excluded.

Volume estimates only. Bag shape, compartment doors, weight and fuel requirements determine the final fit. Tell us about mixed luggage, skis or bulky items.

Aircraft & pilots

What we review.

Read our standards →
  • The year, every time. Nearly every Bravo was built before 2005, so nearly every one gets the written exception review: complete records, recent inspections, the operator's history with the tail and the cabin's condition. You see that review before you decide.
  • The cabin on the specific tail. A Bravo with a refreshed interior flies like a much newer airplane; one without does not, and the photos on the quote show which you are getting.
  • The crew and the field. We check the crew's time on the type, and a pilot runs the runway numbers for the day's heat and weight.

Fair questions

Citation Bravo questions.

Is a Bravo too old to charter?

Age alone is not the question; records, maintenance and the operator are. Our standard is 2005 or newer, and an older Bravo is offered only after a written exception review, which we tell you about on the quote. If you would rather not, we source a newer light jet.

How many people and bags fit?

Seven in the usual layout, with four in club seats. The nose and tail bays take a weekend of bags for the group, and golf clubs fit. Tell us the head count and the bags.
