Each CJ4 Gen2 will be operated under Jet Out’s co-ownership and co-lease programmes. All aircraft operate under Part 135 certification, which allows charter on empty legs or when an aircraft is not in use.
Jet Out has decided to add more Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2s to its fleet. “After evaluating every aircraft in this class, we determined the Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 delivers best-in-class performance and passenger comfort while maintaining the lowest total cost of ownership,” explains COO Matt Wild. “Its speed, efficiency and reliability align perfectly with Jet Out's commitment to providing a predictable, refined and cost-effective private aviation experience for our co-owners.”
Each CJ4 Gen2 will be operated under Jet Out’s co-ownership and co-lease programmes. All aircraft operate under Part 135 certification, which allows Jet Out to offer charter on empty legs or during periods when an aircraft is not in use by its co-owners. This model enhances fleet efficiency and helps offset ownership costs while keeping aircraft active and well-positioned for co-owner flights.
Wild continues: “The CJ4 Gen2 performs exceptionally well at altitude, balancing impressive speed with outstanding fuel efficiency. Its generous payload capacity allows for longer-range missions with four to six passengers on board. Inside, the aircraft delivers an elevated cabin experience consistent with the Jet Out standard: amenities such as modern design, wireless cabin-management, an espresso machine and stone countertops provide both luxury and practicality. Every detail is designed to make travel seamless, comfortable and connected.
“The type is an ideal fit for our growing network. Our next aircraft will be based in Dallas–Fort Worth in 2025, establishing our fourth operational base. This expansion strengthens our national footprint, improves scheduling flexibility and positions us to better serve our co-owners and co-lessees. Each base operates under Jet Out’s ‘home base’ model, where aircraft and crew are regionally positioned to minimise repositioning costs and enhance reliability.”
The CJ4s primarily support owner missions and network operations throughout the US. Adding the Dallas base to the existing network in Milwaukee, Fort Lauderdale and Scottsdale expands the operator’s ability to fill empty legs efficiently, balance flight demand and support the broader co-owned fleet.
Jet Out took delivery of three CJ4 Gen2 aircraft in 2025, with up to three more expected by year-end, and six firm orders planned for 2026. These aircraft are expected to expand the fleet to 11 CJ4 Gen2 aircraft by the close of 2025 and 17 by the end of 2026.
