Citations latest offering of small business jets is the CJ1+ and not to state the obvious it is an upgrade to the CJ1. Whether you are buying this business jet or you are a private jet charter passenger you are surely going to be in for a pleasant surprise.

This aircraft was originally created for the small business charter entrepreneur owner/pilot but it is now loved by individuals as well as corporations. Seating six people, this business aircraft is perfect for flying small business groups to that illusive island vacation or to business meetings abroad.

The CJ1+ has had it’s interior upgraded. It still has the standard cabinetry but it now has new window shades and the cabin has been modified to make it more roomy. Sit back and enjoy the flight at the new refreshment centre.

To reduce the sound of the already quiet engines the CJ1+ has special acoustic padding to ensure you have a peaceful journey. The aircraft can now climb to 41,000 feet (12,497 m) where the weather is far less. This means you enjoy a far more comfortable ride as you get less turbulence at this height.
Compared to the Citation CJ1 this new model is far more efficient, yet more powerful. Eventhough the CJ1+ has a higher payload that the CJ1 it only burns an average of 132 gallons per hour.

The CJ1+ has two powerful Williams FJ44-1AP engines that deliver a huge amount of thrust and performance. Efficiencies have also been made in the aerodynamics of this aircraft thereby reducing drag and increasing performance. The aircraft also uses natural laminar flow wing delays the onset of flow separation longer, which improves the lift-to-drag characteristics ten to fifteen percent when compared to previous straight-wing designs.

Improvements in efficiency and power mean that the CJ1+ has an increased take-off weight of 300 pounds over the CJ1. These advances have meant owners now have a greater range and more options for payloads which gives them greater flexibility for planning routes. Whilst the CJ1+ has increased in size compared to the Citation CJ1+ it is also faster. An increase in power has meant that the CJ1+ has a greater capacity for luggage. The three baggage holds can stow up to 822 pounds of luggage.

As so many things are automated in the CJ1+ flying this aircraft is a easy. Air from the engine is used as de-icing for the horizontal tail, wing edge and engine, in addition to the removal of rain from the cockpit windscreen. Owing to the many automatic systems this jet only requires one which enables operators to keep costs to a minimum.

The flexibility and ease of use of this aircraft is evident by its ability to take off from a 4,000 foot runway in all types of adverse weather conditions, such as from hot temperatures and high elevation at maximum payload capacity. This versatility has partly come about by the re-design of the tail section which has reduced the overall weight of the aircraft but has not sacrificed on the cabin size.

All the technological improvements that have gone into this aircraft has resulted in the CJ1+ being able to climb to 41,000 feet in just 27 minutes and cruise at 448 mph (720 km/hr). This makes the aircraft perfect for short flights that take up to just over an hour. For example, London to Nice, London to Rome, or London to Berlin. The ideal candidates for these aircraft are small business, like air charter companies, and individuals.

Private Jet Charter

Private jet charter offers clearer itineraries, greater security and flexibility, and vastly superior convenience of routing over scheduled carriers.

Flexibility is one of the major pluses of using our Private jet charter services. At Flaps International we try to recreate the effectiveness and delight that flying once epitomised by using smaller, more suitable airports, private terminals and remote check-in facilities. Contrast Private jet charter with ‘Air Sardine’ operating to and from an airport 50 miles from home or office and you soon see the benefits.

Unlike flying with scheduled operators using Private jet charter means your itinerary can be as flexible as you would like. If the flight is due to take off at 9.00 am all you need to do is show up 15 minutes before your journey rather than two or three hours. Should you wish to diversify your timetable at short notice just contact us and we can re-book your flight.

As many private planes are smaller than the average plane this means we can use provincial airports rather than the major airports. Using local airports means that you can land closer to your objective thereby saving you time. We can even offer you a door to door service by fixing a taxi to pick you up and drop you off.

Using local airports also means you can avoid all the delays associated with having to queue up for security checks.. Avoiding security is still not an option but rather than having to wait in line with thousands of people you might be only one of two in the queue.

On consideration of 9/11 security is a real question to consider. Using local airports means you are unlikely to be a target of terrorism. If we do fly to any major airports you will not go through the usual channels. Instead you will be directed to the VIP Charter terminal.

If you are thinking what type of jet you will fly in, this will depend on how many people are flying and where you wish to travel to. The most economically sized planes for groups flying domestically, or within Western Europe, are those carrying up to four, up to eight, up to 19 then up to 29, 34 and 42. The next jumps are around 70 then 120. The large intercontinental routes tend to be VIP configured aircraft. At the opposite end, if you require an air taxi service, you can either hire a helicopter or charter a light aircraft.

Renting a private jet can be unexpectedly, economic. For example, if you needed to fly several people to Nice for a business meeting this will probably mean putting these people up in a nice hotel for the night. What happens if your meeting runs on the next day? Private jet charter means you can have the plane on standby, ready to fly you back at any time. Should you have to stay an extra day the jet can stay with you overnight.

Increasingly people are coming to realise that executive jet charter is a more efficient, more civilised and increasingly affordable way of flying.

{Flying Private jet charter with Flaps International Ltd means you will be amongst royalty, business leaders and sports celebrities who are turning away from the cramped, expensive flights of the scheduled airlines in favour of its more civilised and affordable form of flying.
Our Private jet charter gives you a seamless service locally and around the globe and specialises in local operations from Birmingham, Gloucester and Coventry, as well as dozens more UK and European airports for helicopters, turbo-props and jets from one passenger or 1,001.
