Piaggio Avanti P.180 — Speed of a Jet, Comfort of a Cabin Class Above
The Cessna Citation CJ2 (Model 525A) is a light business jet built by Cessna (Textron Aviation) as a 5-foot-stretched, more powerful evolution of the original CitationJet (CJ1). With a longer cabin, higher-thrust Williams FJ44 engines, and increased range over its predecessor, the CJ2 comfortably seats up to 6-7 passengers in a refined club-style layout while retaining the efficiency and short-runway flexibility of a light jet. For Char Dham travelers, the CJ2 offers a fast, cost-effective way to connect major cities to regional gateway airports before onward pilgrimage transfers, without the overhead of a larger heavy jet.
