The Cessna Citation CJ2 is a light jet for Puerto Rico from San Juan (SJU), seating 6 to 7 with 1,613 nautical miles of range. It covers SJU to Florida, the US Southeast, and the eastern Caribbean nonstop. A stretched, more capable CitationJet.
Cessna built the Citation CJ2 from 2000 with a longer cabin and more power than the CJ1, cruising near 418 knots at up to 45,000 feet. Extra seats and range set it apart from the smaller CJ.

Why the Cessna Citation CJ2 Fits Puerto Rico
From Puerto Rico the CJ2 fits the small group that wants a bit more cabin and range than the CJ1: San Juan to Miami, the Southeast, or St. Thomas. Efficiency and single-pilot economy are the draw.
For light-jet legs out of SJU with a handful of passengers, the CJ2 is a capable step up.
