Swiss operator Global Jet has taken delivery of a factory-new Citation CJ4, which it will base in Paris. The jet can accommodate six passengers plus a flight attendant, and has a Cessna entertainment system installed that enables guests to watch three different movies in the cabin at the same time.

“We get quite a lot of requests from Paris for smaller European trips,” says sales executive Heloise Converset. “It is an excellent aircraft for business: it is fast, it has the newest technology and has the kind of cabin that we were missing after the disposal of our CJ2. It is a great replacement for day trips, and for smaller European trips it is perfect.”

The CJ4 can fly non-stop to Moscow from Paris, as well as to Marrakech and parts of Turkey. “These types of destinations are popular for weekend trips,” adds Converset. “We can access a good range of European destinations with it and it definitely fills a gap for us.” In 2014 Global Jet added a Falcon 7X to its charter roster in Paris, and since September has been operating a refurbished Global Express from Geneva.
