Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 empty legs

Cannes to Wevelgem. Malaga to Wevelgem. Montpellier to Wevelgem. The Gen2 on our board is a light jet that takes people to the Mediterranean and then comes home to West Flanders, and it tells you what the empty seat costs about half the time.

Home is Wevelgem

Every regular pairing ends at Wevelgem, the small airfield near Kortrijk: from Cannes, from Malaga, from Montpellier, from Ibiza. The outbound legs to the coast exist too, and the CJ2+ from Antwerp covers the same ground with two fewer seats.

Long notice and a visible price

Two things make this page unusual. The Gen2 is published with a couple of weeks in hand and stays listed for a long time, and around half of its legs carry the operator's figure. Between them that means you can plan, compare, and enquire early, which almost no other type here allows. The record block gives the current median.

Gen2 versus CJ4

Same airframe as the CJ4, with a 2021 cabin and avionics refresh. On this board they could not behave more differently: the plain CJ4 wanders across North America with no price on anything, the Gen2 shuttles to the Mediterranean with a price on half. We keep them apart because operators do. Specification: Citation CJ4 Gen2 range and seats.

Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2: specification and background

Textron introduced the Gen2 in 2021 as a refresh of the CJ4 rather than a new type: the same airframe, wing and FJ44-4A engines, with a redesigned cabin, new seats, improved lighting and connectivity, and cockpit updates. Operators list it separately from the original, and on this board the two behave quite differently, which is why each has its own page. Everything the CJ4 is good at, it is good at; the difference is inside.
