The CJ4 Gen3, manufactured by Textron Aviation, is designed for luxury and productivity, and joins other Cessna models offering Gogo's high-speed, low-latency connectivity solution.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen3 is the largest aircraft in the light jet segment, combining superior speed, range, and operating economics compared to larger aircraft.
