A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the light jet class.
CESSNA
The Cessna Citation CJ3+ is the most-flown light jet in private aviation — a perfect short-range workhorse that combines exceptional fuel efficiency with a refined six-seat cabin. Ideal for one-to-two-hour European or US regional missions, the CJ3+ accesses smaller airfields that midsize jets cannot, putting clients closer to their final destination.

The HondaJet Elite II is the most innovative light jet in production — its patented over-the-wing engine mount delivers a quieter, larger cabin and 20% better fuel efficiency than any direct competitor. Ideal for short European or US business missions.
