Why the Cessna Citation CJ1 Fits Baltimore

With 1,300 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Baltimore and destinations such as Toronto, Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale, allowing for reserves and routing. Late May is one of the busiest stretches of the year in Baltimore, with the Preakness and the Naval Academy’s Commissioning Week, so call early for those dates.

Smaller aircraft can use BWI or Martin State, and Easton Airport for St. Michaels and Oxford, with the operator confirming the airport at each end on your quote. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.

How Baltimore Clients Use the Cessna Citation CJ1

For a short business trip from Baltimore, this class keeps the hourly cost low. Some of these types are certified for single-pilot operations, so ask your advisor how the aircraft on your quote is crewed.

Share the route, how many are flying and how much they are bringing, and your advisor will say whether this type is the right fit or suggest one that is.
