The CJ1 is a pure light jet — small cabin, short range, but fast and extremely economical to operate. It's what single-pilot owner-operators fly themselves, and what charter operators use for short regional legs (1–3 hours) where a bigger jet is overkill.
Charter pricing is genuinely cheap — empty-leg rates $3,500–$6,500 for a 500–1,000 nm regional trip. For groups of 4 people doing a weekend trip from, say, Dallas to Las Vegas, split across 4 passengers this can come out to ~$1,000/person round-trip — less than first-class commercial on some routes.
These are currently open repositioning flights on a Citation CJ1. Whole-aircraft charter — book the entire plane at 40–75% below the typical charter rate. Inventory refreshes every 6 hours.
