Pilots who use their aircraft for long family trips or do a lot of cross-country flying for other missions often think about steps they could take to make those flights more quickly and efficiently. The possibility of switching from piston to jet power usually comes into play, even as a far-flung fantasy. If you are truly ready to step up to a jet, though, the Cessna M2 for sale today was designed with you in mind.

While suitable for air-taxi, charter and corporate duties, the M2 was built around the single-pilot concept to help make them appealing to private owner-operators who prefer to do their own flying. With a cruising speed over 400 ktas, the M2 offers a significant upgrade in performance over turboprops and brings true cross-country family trips into the realm of convenience. 

This 2021 Citation M2 has 377 hours and 323 landings on the airframe, and 377 hours on each of its Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines, which are enrolled in the TAP Blue maintenance program. The airframe is enrolled in the Proparts program. The aircraft is equipped with an Airstair cabin entry door, and its airframe and Garmin systems are under warranty until October 2026.
