Real World Feedback on the Citation CJ4

“The CJ4 is probably my favorite light jet,” comments Rick Colson, Founder & CEO of long term charter brokerage New Flight Charters and a pilot. “Its range is impressive – better than the Phenom 300, very capable in accommodating numbers of passengers and bags, Wi-Fi equipped, and I love its reliability.  We want to include it in choices for our charter clients whenever we can.” New Flight Charters includes a jet charter operator directory with 3,569 charter operators worldwide.

About the Citation CJ2+, What Does The "+" mean?

The Citation CJ2+ is an upgraded and enhanced version of the popular CJ2, a favorite in the light jet category and in continuous production since 2000.

Lets break it down:

• Better engines — The CJ2+ is equipped with more powerful Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines, each producing 2,490 pounds of thrust, compared to the CJ2's FJ44-2C engines at 2,400 lbs.
  
• FADEC — A significant advantage of the CJ2+ is its incorporation of FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control), which simplifies engine management and enhances efficiency and performance, particularly at higher altitudes.

• Improved range & climb — The CJ2+ offers better fuel efficiency, increased range, improved climb rate, better takeoff performance, and increased useful payload.

• Quieter cabin — It also features a redesigned cabin with extra soundproofing, making it a significantly more comfortable ride for passengers.

• More standard equipment — When introduced, the CJ2+ came with 17 of the CJ2's most popular equipment options included as standard.

So in short, the "+" simply means improved/upgraded edition — the long term proven CJ2, but with meaningful performance and avionics enhancements.

Real World Feedback on the Citation CJ2+

“The CJ2+ is an ideal light jet in its mission category," said Rick Colson, Founder & CEO of long term charter brokerage New Flight Charters and a pilot. "It's capable and comfortable, economical, easy to fly, and has a terrific safety record. Great for regional flying up to 3 hours, it is usually one of the top choices. We include it options for our charter clients to choose from whenever it makes sense." New Flight Charters includes a jet charter operator directory with 3,569 charter operators worldwide.

Announced at NBAA-BACE, charter operator FlyHouse has entered into an agreement to buy Sun Air Jets, headquartered at CMA Camarillo, California, which would nearly double the managed fleet for FlyHouse.

In addition to the Part-135 certificate, fleet of owned and managed aircraft, and operations, FlyHouse will also gain the Part-145 repair station, FBO, hangar and support facilities at Camarillo and Van Nuys.

Sun Air Jets is privately owned by Edward G. Atsinger III (the Salem Media Group co-founder). He founded Sun Air Jets in 1999, wanting a more transparent and client-focused approach to aircraft management and charter operations. The company grew under long-term CEO & President Brian Counsil, who helped expand it into one of Southern California's premier business jet management and charter operators.

FlyHouse is registered as FlyHouse Management LLC in California, with unnamed founders or members. Jack E Lambert, Jr. is the CEO of FlyHouse as of 2023. Previously he spent 17 years at aircraft management and charter operator Jet Access Aviation as Founder and Managing Partner, according to LinkedIn.

FlyHouse is a relatively new charter operator and management company founded in 2021 and positioned as both an operator and charter broker. In 2024 FlyHouse acquired JetASAP, a technology-forward private jet charter booking platform

Sun Air Jets operates a fleet of 8 aircraft based between CMA and VNY, according to charter industry intelligence platform FlightList PRO, and FlyHouse operates a fleet of 9 aircraft based at VNY, LGB and FLL. The combined fleet will be mostly super-midsize, heavy and ultra long range jets nearly all based in Southern California.

Key to the acquisition is Sun Air Jets’ certified maintenance and repair station, which will give FlyHouse MRO capabilities in-house, and a new business in third-party maintenance.

Sun Air Jets carries ARGUS Platinum, WYVERN Wingman and IS-BAO Registered certifications which FlyHouse plans on integrating.

Following the Sun Air Jets acquisition, FlyHouse will comprise;

1. Fleet of 17 aircraft
2. Part-135 Aircraft Operator Certificate
3. Charter Brokerage
4. Part-145 Repair Station
5. FBO and Hangar Operations

FlyHouse said it's mission is to develop a "technology-driven aviation ecosystem that makes private travel simpler, smarter, and more accessible".

Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) is located in Montana. As its name states, the airports boasts its proximity to Yellowstone National Park and, thanks to the high demand for leisure travel to one of America’s most famous national parks, the airport is the busiest in the state of Montana and ranked in the top 100 airports in the US last. Over the past few months, several airlines have announced new or expanded service, and even Southwest Airlines is finally coming to Bozeman this summer. For an inside look at the airport, Simple Flying spoke to Brian Sprenger, the Airport Director at BZN.

Recent growth at BZN

To preface the interview we did with Mr. Sprenger, it is important to recognize the sheer growth at Bozeman. For summer 2021, BZN is anticipating seeing service from nine airlines with nonstop service to 24 markets. This will be the most ever that Bozeman has seen.

In addition, the airport expects its available seats for May through October 2021 to increase a whopping 45% over the previous record set in 2019.

Expanded service since the start of the crisis has come from many different airlines. In early February, Allegiant announced it would be adding twice-weekly nonstop service during the summer season from Bozeman to three cities.

Alaska Airlines then upgauged flights between Bozeman and Seattle to mainline Airbus service after adding a new service to Los Angeles using an Embraer E175 at the end of 2020. A few days after Alaska's maiden mainline flight to Bozeman, American Airlines announced daily nonstop summer service between Bozeman and Phoenix.

Then, the big icing on the cake for summer 2021 came at the end of February, when Southwest Airlines announced new daily services from May 27th to Denver and Las Vegas, with up to six daily flights this summer out of Bozeman.
