Citation Longitude
Super-Midsize Jet - 8 passengers, 3,500 nm published range
About the Citation Longitude
The Citation Longitude is Textron's flagship super-midsize jet, stretching the Latitude's fuselage cross-section into a genuinely coast-to-coast, transatlantic-capable cabin. It combines a 3,500 nm range and 483 ktas cruise with a flat-floor, walk-in-baggage cabin that competes directly with jets a class above on paper spec.
Who charters it
The step-up choice for clients who have outgrown midsize range or cabin volume but do not need a heavy jet; strong fit for 6-8 passenger transcontinental or light-transatlantic missions. NetJets is a major operator of the type, which keeps charter and fractional availability strong nationally.
Mission fit: the Citation Longitude at a glance
Handles long cross-country legs in a stand-up cabin for a mid-sized group, though bags and exact layout still depend on the individual tail.
Best for
- Denver to either coast nonstop with four aboard, after reserves and headwind
- Teams of up to 8 in typical seating
- A stand-up cabin for working or resting on the way

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 3,500 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.

Worth knowing

- Largest cabin volume Cessna has built at 755 cu ft
- Flat floor with a certified walk-in baggage compartment
- Honeywell HTF7000 turbofans shared with several regional/business jet platforms
- Garmin G5000 flight deck with syllabus-standard autothrottle
Colorado mountain airports: capable
Sea-level takeoff performance is comparable to other super-midsize types that serve these fields, and Aspen-focused charter guidance names the Longitude among certified options for ASE alongside the Challenger 350 and Falcon 900LX. Direct evidence of high-volume ASE/EGE service is thinner than for the Challenger or G280, and TEX should be treated as unconfirmed and payload-restricted for a jet of this size.
Planning guidance only. The operator, the AFM performance data, and conditions on the day are the final authority.
