From our charter desk
What the Cessna Citation Sovereign is like
Popular super-midsize workhorse with a stand-up double-club cabin typically seating 8-9, a large ~100+ cu ft baggage hold, and excellent short-runway performance. Its ~2,850 nm range (3,200 nm on the Sovereign+) covers near US coast-to-coast and London-to-Mediterranean missions comfortably.
Where the Cessna Citation Sovereign flies nonstop
Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 2,847 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.
