What the Cessna Citation Latitude is like

Best-selling midsize jet with a flat-floor, stand-up six-foot cabin, the roomiest in its class, typically configured for 8 in double-club seating. Its roughly 2,700 nm range covers US transcontinental trips (e.g. Los Angeles-New York nonstop) and 4-5 hour missions, making it a charter-fleet workhorse (backbone of the NetJets midsize fleet).

Where the Cessna Citation Latitude flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 2,700 nm range. We mark a route near the limit once it uses more than 85 percent of the published range, because a full cabin or a headwind can turn it into a fuel stop.

Time at cruise leaves out taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds, so a real block time runs longer.

Questions

Cessna Citation Latitude: charter questions

Typically 8 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 2,700 nautical miles (5,000 km, 3,107 statute miles), or roughly 6 hours at its typical cruise speed of 446 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 446 knots, about 513 mph or 826 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
Yes, on paper. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nautical miles, within the Cessna Citation Latitude’s 2,700, and takes roughly 5 hours at cruise speed before taxi, climb and winds. London to Dubai (2,978 nm) is beyond it and needs a fuel stop. The operator confirms it for your passengers, bags and date.
A midsize jet. Taller cabins and longer legs than a light jet, for mid-length domestic trips. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Hawker 800XP, Hawker 900XP, Learjet 60 and Gulfstream G150.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
