Citation CJ4
The big one in the CJ family. The CJ3's cabin height and width with about two more feet of length, an enclosed lavatory with a door and a cruise near 450 knots, which is quick for a light jet. It reaches the Northeast or Texas from Nashville nonstop, and clients pick it for a little more room at a light jet price.

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.
Include your baggage in a quote request →- Airframe year. The CJ4 started in 2010, so every one we source meets the 2005 or newer standard, and the year is on your quote.
- Crew time in type and the inspection history of the specific airplane. We also check which suitable alternatives are available for your dates.
- The load on a hot day or at a mountain field. The CJ4 performs well for a light jet, and a pilot still runs the numbers for Aspen, Destin in July or a full cabin with bags before we recommend it.
