Fractional ownership and charter provider Jet Out has taken delivery of its 15th factory-new Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2. The Wisconsin-based operator announced the addition to its all-CJ4 fleet on Tuesday and said that in November it will introduce changes to its Co-Lease offering.
According to Jet Out, it now has the largest CJ4 charter fleet in the U.S. based on analysis of FAA’s list of Part 135 operators. It has taken delivery of the 15 jets over the past three years.
In the 12 month period through the end of September, Jet Out’s CJ4s logged more than 4 million miles to 659 airports across 48 contiguous states and 15 other countries and territories. The company said its flight activity increased by 92% over the first three quarters of 2026, compared with the same period last year.
As well as its headquarters in Milwaukee, Jet Out operates its aircraft from its regional bases in South Florida, Scottsdale, Forth Worth and will soon open a Waukesha location. “Each aircraft is based close to the owners it serves, supported by local pilots and maintenance teams,” the company said.
Each Jet Out aircraft registration ends with NE, which the company said stands for Nonstop Efficiency. The latest CJ4 delivered has the tail number N365NE, which is intended as a tribute to employees. Other tail numbers in the fleet mark important dates for customers, such as birthdays or anniversaries.
“Fifteen aircraft make a fleet. The people behind them make a company,” Jet Out president Matt Wild said. “N365NE belongs to the schedulers, dispatchers, concierges, pilots and technicians who are there for owners every day.”
According to Jet Out, the latest version of its 12-month Co-Lease program will offer “a shorter commitment than traditional fractional ownership and more structure than a jet card.”
