Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Differences between variants
History
- 1999First flight
- 2005FAA certification
- 2006 - Stretched cabin and more powerful engine over the CJ1+
Launched in 2006, the CJ2+ stretched the fuselage by ~50 cm relative to the CJ1+, gaining 2 extra seats. Swapped the FJ44-2C (original CJ2) for the FJ44-3A-24, gaining about 4% more thrust (2,490 vs 2,400 lbf), allowing a higher MTOW (5,670 kg) and a ceiling of FL450, vs FL410 for the CJ1+.
- 2016 - 240 units produced in 10 years
Between 2006 and 2016 approximately 240 CJ2+ units were produced, totaling ~480 CJ2-series aircraft when added to the original CJ2 (240 units, 2000-2006). The CJ2/CJ2+ line was discontinued in 2016 with no direct successor, with Cessna concentrating production on the CJ3+ and M2.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Cost-benefit sweet spot between the CJ1+ and CJ3
Ideal positioning between the CJ1+ (5 seats, 1,300 nm) and the CJ3 (8 seats, 1,875 nm). Offers 7 seats and 1,613 nm at an operating cost of ~USD 1,650/hour, only 14% more expensive than the CJ1+ for 30% more space and range. That is why it is the best-selling of the CJ2 family and the jet most sought after by the Brazilian regional charter market.
FL450 opens routes above weather and commercial traffic
Service ceiling of FL450 (45,000 ft) puts the CJ2+ above the tropical storms common in Brazil and the commercial traffic concentrated at FL350-FL410. Extended range at higher altitudes also reduces fuel burn, a direct benefit for BR-Caribbean missions.
Single-pilot certified, CE-525 compatible
Same CE-525 type rating as the CJ1+ and CJ3, easing cross-fleet training in mixed operations. Owner-pilot operators upgrade from the CJ1+ to the CJ2+ without full retraining, only 2-3 days of differences training.
Limitations
Cabin still low by current standards
Cabin height of 1.45m remains identical to the CJ1+; passengers taller than 1.75m have to stoop to walk. Newer competitors such as the Phenom 300 (1.52m) already offer taller cabins.
Curiosities
G3000 upgrade announced in 2014 as a retrofit
In 2014 Cessna announced the CJ2+ Alpine Edition (Garmin G3000 touchscreen replacing the Pro Line 21), sold as an STC retrofit upgrade, and the line was discontinued in 2016.
