Monaco clients use light jets for shorter legs with four to six people, and the crossing to Nice is left to a jet built for the distance.
Cessna built the Citation CJ2 from 2000 to 2006. It seats 6 to 7 with a published range of 1,613 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 418 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 45,000 feet, 65 cubic feet of baggage volume and a lavatory.

The Cessna Citation CJ2 on a Monaco Trip
Summer is the peak season on the Riviera, and the Cannes Film Festival in May fills the region’s airports as well, so plan those weeks early.
The crossing to Nice, the gateway for Monaco, is roughly 3,500 nautical miles from the East Coast, so for that flight your advisor will suggest a jet with the range for it. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator before you book.
How Monaco Clients Use the Cessna Citation CJ2
Most light jets take six to eight passengers, many carry a lavatory, and a small group is comfortable on board for a couple of hours.
Give us the dates, the number of passengers, the bags and the city you are leaving from, and your advisor will say whether this aircraft is right for the trip or put a better one in front of you.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
