What the Cessna Citation Longitude is like

Cessna's flagship super-midsize jet with the quietest cabin in its class, a flat-floor stand-up cabin typically configured for 8 passengers, and 3,500 nm of range: comfortably coast-to-coast US nonstop and capable of New York-London with a light load. Modern (certified 2019) Garmin G5000 flight deck and full-cabin connectivity make it a popular fleet aircraft (e.g. NetJets) with consistent availability.

Where the Cessna Citation Longitude flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 3,500 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 Longitude: 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 3,500 nautical miles (6,482 km, 4,028 statute miles), or roughly 7 hours at its typical cruise speed of 483 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 483 knots, about 556 mph or 895 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 Longitude’s 3,500, and takes roughly 4.5 hours at cruise speed before taxi, climb and winds. Los Angeles to Tokyo (4,746 nm) is beyond it and needs a fuel stop. The operator confirms it for your passengers, bags and date.
A super-midsize jet. Stand-up cabins with the range for coast-to-coast flights nonstop. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Gulfstream G200, Gulfstream G280, Cessna Citation X and Bombardier Challenger 350.
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.
