Why the Cessna Citation CJ2 Fits Orlando
With 1,613 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Orlando Executive and destinations such as Atlanta, Houston and Mexico City, allowing for reserves and routing. Florida’s hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th, and during those months we watch the tropics with the operator ahead of every trip.
Most jets in this class fly from Orlando Executive, about three miles east of downtown, and some trips use Orlando International or Sanford instead, depending on where you are starting from. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator ahead of the trip.
How Orlando Clients Use the Cessna Citation CJ2
Most light jets have six to eight seats and many have a lavatory, which is comfortable for a trip from Orlando up to Atlanta, Washington or New York.
Tell us where you are flying from, how many are coming and what they are bringing, strollers and golf bags included, and we will measure this aircraft against the trip before offering alternatives.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
