Why clients ask for the Citation Latitude by name
The Citation Latitude is Textron's flagship midsize jet and the best-selling midsize business jet in the world, built around the same fuselage cross-section later stretched for the Longitude. It offers the largest flat-floor, stand-up cabin in the midsize class, a 2,700 nm range that covers most US transcontinental routes with reserves, and enough short-field performance to reach regional airports larger midsize jets skip. It's the aircraft we recommend most often when a client wants genuine cabin comfort without stepping up to super-midsize rates.
Photos show the Citation Latitude. Every charter interior is a little different. Before you book, we send photos of the exact aircraft and interior assigned to your trip, so there are no surprises at the FBO.

Where can it take you nonstop?
Pick your departure city and see the Citation Latitude's reach across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Flying from Colorado, most of the country is one leg away.
From Centennial (APA), the Citation Latitude reaches anywhere inside the ring without a fuel stop.
Ring shows a planning range of 2,037 nm: range with four passengers, less a reserve, flown into a 50 kt headwind. Payload, routing and the day's winds decide real-world reach. Your quote confirms nonstop capability for your exact trip.
Is this the right aircraft for your trip?
An honest fit check beats a hard sell. Here is where the Citation Latitude shines, and where we would steer you to a different aircraft instead.
Mission fit: the Citation Latitude at a glance
A stand-up cabin for a small group on medium to long trips, though a full cabin with full bags is worth checking against the route.
Best for
- Denver to either coast nonstop with four aboard, after reserves and headwind
- Teams of up to 9 in typical seating
- A stand-up cabin for working or resting on the way
Think twice if
Nothing in the published numbers stands out. Tell us the trip and we will check it.
Mountain airports
Capable. Routine into Eagle. Aspen and Telluride depend on weight, weather and the operator's own approval for the field.
Computed from specifications current as of 2026-09-28. Range lines start from the 2,700 nm four-passenger figure, hold back a reserve and fly into a 50 kt headwind. Winds, weight and the operator's own performance numbers decide any given day. Check your route in the Range Explorer.
Book it for
Denver to either coast, nonstop
With four aboard it plans past New York or Los Angeles from Denver, after reserves and a headwind allowance. A full team, or a true coast-to-coast leg like New York to Los Angeles, can mean a fuel stop, which we check with the operator before you book.
Corporate groups of 8-9
Double-club, flat-floor seating across two zones handles a full leadership team without anyone feeling cramped.
Clients who want stand-up comfort without super-midsize pricing
The largest flat-floor cabin in the midsize category, at a meaningfully lower rate than stepping up a class.
Charter bookings where availability matters
As the most common midsize jet in the market, availability and pricing tend to stay consistent even on shorter notice.
Skip it for
Oceanic or long international legs
2,700 nm is strong for a midsize jet but not enough for transatlantic or transpacific crossings, a heavy or ultra-long-range jet is needed there.
Groups larger than 12
Maximum certified capacity is 12. Larger groups need a super-midsize or heavy jet.
The shortest, most remote airstrips
A 3,900 ft takeoff roll is longer than the light jets, so the tightest backcountry strips are better served by a CJ3+ or CJ4 Gen2.
