Citation CJ3 Partnership
Two partners share one Cessna Citation CJ3, based in Seattle, and one professional crew. Adjust the hours, fuel price and financing below to see what a half share costs.
Each partner pays the buy-in once, a share of the fixed costs every month, and the hourly rate for every hour that partner flies.
Your cost, your hours

Jack can walk you through the numbers for a specific aircraft and help find a partner.
A $10 million price is above typical used CJ3 asking prices of about $4.5 to $5.8 million and below a new CJ3 Gen2 list price of about $11 million, so these figures assume a late-model or near-new aircraft. Cost ranges draw on published estimates from Craft, Liberty Jet, Sherpa Report and AvBuyer. The partnership must be structured and operated under FAA rules for private (Part 91) flying. Have an aviation attorney and tax advisor review the agreement before you commit.
