The Cessna Citation M2 is a compelling choice for first-time jet buyers and companies upgrading from turboprops. This light jet strikes the perfect balance of low operating costs, pilot-friendly technology, and strong performance, making it a standout in business aircraft sales.

As specialists in the light jet market, Holstein Aviation recognizes the M2’s enduring value for buyers seeking a modern, efficient, and reliable private travel solution.

PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY

The M2 is designed for peak operational efficiency, making it a cost-effective workhorse for short to mid-range missions.

• Powerful and Economical Engines: Equipped with two Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines with FADEC, the M2 delivers excellent fuel economy while providing robust thrust. These engines deliver a 10–15% power increase at altitude compared to earlier versions, enabling faster climbs and higher cruise speeds.

• Optimal Speed and Range: With a maximum cruise speed of 404 knots and a range of ~1,550 nautical miles, the M2 efficiently handles domestic and regional trips. It can easily connect city pairs such as New York–Atlanta or London–Ibiza nonstop.

• Superior Runway Performance: The M2’s short-field capability allows access to smaller regional airports, reducing ground travel time and enhancing mission flexibility.

AN ADVANCED AND INTUITIVE FLIGHT DECK

The Citation M2 was designed with transitioning pilots in mind, particularly those moving up from piston or turboprop aircraft.

• Garmin G3000 Avionics: The M2 features the Garmin G3000 suite with three large, high-resolution touchscreens. This intuitive system reduces workload, improves situational awareness, and makes single-pilot operation seamless and safe.

• Sophisticated Features: Standard features include synthetic vision, weather radar, and TCAS I (Traffic Collision and Avoidance System). The avionics also integrate ADS-B In and Out, ensuring compliance and safety.

A COMFORTABLE AND MODERN CABIN

Despite being an entry-level jet, the M2 offers a refined passenger experience that feels more premium than many competitors in the very light jet category.

• Spacious Interior: With seating for up to five passengers, the M2’s standard club configuration with fold-out tables provides a functional environment for work or relaxation.

• Refined Design and Amenities: Many M2s feature a modern interior with leather seating, large windows, and elegant finishes. Later models, such as the M2 Gen2, include upgrades like enhanced lighting, wireless charging, and additional USB ports.

• Quiet and Comfortable: Effective soundproofing and a well-designed cabin pressurization system reduce fatigue, ensuring passenger comfort even on longer flights.

THE INTELLIGENT CHOICE IN THE PRE-OWNED MARKET

For buyers seeking maximum value in private aviation, the pre-owned Citation M2 market offers an outstanding opportunity.

• Strong Resale Value: The M2’s proven reliability and popularity ensure it maintains excellent residual value.

• Lower Operating Costs: Its fuel-efficient engines and durable airframe keep direct operating costs among the lowest in its class.

• Active Market: With strong demand and a healthy fleet in service, pre-owned Citation M2s offer buyers choice, availability, and liquidity when it comes time to sell.

The Cessna Citation M2 is a smart, sophisticated, and cost-effective entry-level business jet. Its combination of Garmin G3000 avionics, efficient performance, and a comfortable cabin makes it a leader in the light jet category.

Whether you are new to jet ownership or upgrading from a turboprop, the Citation M2 provides an intelligent step into private aviation.
