The Cessna CJ1 market exhibits an attractive opportunity for savvy investors and operators in the light jet category. With 11 units available, accounting for 5% of the overall CJ1 fleet, the market is active, indicating both healthy turnover and demand. The average current market price stands at approximately $1,300,000, which is significantly lower than the original price of $4,100,000 when new, highlighting substantial depreciation and making it an accessible entry point for those new to private aviation or expanding fleets. Prices range from a low of $900,000 to a high of $2,095,000, reflecting variances in aircraft condition, age, and installed upgrades. Monthly payment options around $5,750 make ownership more feasible for a broader range of buyers. This pricing structure, coupled with the CJ1’s noted efficiency and reliability, positions it as a highly desirable asset in the competitive light jet market.
