The Citation M2 is the entry-level very light jet of the Citation line, in production by Cessna since 2013 and identified by ICAO code C25M. It has a range of 1,550 nm, a cruise speed of 404 kt, and a ceiling of 41,000 ft, with a cabin of 6 to 7 seats and a maximum takeoff weight of 4,853 kg. The list price of a new unit is US$5,850,000. Here you see the full spec sheet, the estimated operating cost per flight hour, and the Citation M2 fleet registered in Brazil.
How much runway the Citation M2 needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
No mandatory factoring: fits 419 of 465 Brazilian public runways.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
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.
Typical factory configuration (curated data). The drawing below is schematic and at approximate scale; the actual layout varies by interior and year.
Launched in September 2011 and FAA certified in December 2013, the Citation M2 was positioned by Cessna between the Mustang (a pure VLJ) and the CJ2+, effectively replacing the CJ1+, which went out of production. It combines the CJ1+ fuselage with the more powerful Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines and Garmin G3000 avionics (replacing the Pro Line 21).
In 2022 Textron Aviation launched the Citation M2 Gen2 with a new Alpine interior, new color palette options and ergonomic improvements, keeping the same platform and avionics. Production remains active in Wichita alongside the CJ3+ and CJ4 Gen2.
Certified for single-pilot operation, the M2 eliminates the cost of a copilot on Part 91 missions and equivalent regimes, with Garmin G3000 touchscreen avionics that reduce workload and offer standard synthetic vision. Operation at 100-150 hours/year becomes viable for business owners transitioning from turboprops.
With a 3,210 ft balanced field length (978 m), the M2 operates from Jundiaí (SBJD), Sorocaba (SDCO), Bragantina and most Brazilian executive runways of 1,200 m. Combined with 1,550 nm of range, it covers routes such as GRU-Recife, GRU-BSB, GRU-Foz and SP-Buenos Aires nonstop.
Maximum range of 1,550 nm with 4 people does not cover nonstop GRU-Miami flights (3,500 nm), and needs 2 stops (Manaus + Caribbean). For long routes, the CJ3+ (2,040 nm) or CJ4 (2,165 nm) are more suitable. The M2 is great for regional missions of up to 3 hours.
The M2's cabin height of 1.45 m, width of 1.47 m and cross section are identical to the original Citation CJ launched in 1993, and all variants of the 525 family have shared the same basic fuselage for more than 30 years. The M2 is essentially the 2010s version of the CJ1 with new engines and avionics.
In the entry VLJ/light jet segment, the M2 competes directly with the Embraer Phenom 100EV (370kt, 1,178nm) and the HondaJet HA-420 (422kt, 1,437nm). The M2 wins on platform maturity and the Textron service network, loses to the HondaJet on speed and to the Phenom on cabin.
