Introduction & Fun Facts

Introduced in 2015, the Citation Latitude quickly became one of the most popular midsize business jets worldwide, thanks to its flat-floor cabin, large windows, and long range. Built by Cessna (Textron Aviation), it bridges the gap between the smaller Citation XLS+ and the larger Citation Sovereign+, offering impressive economics and comfort for medium- to long-haul flights.

The Latitude is also among the best-selling aircraft in its category, with more than 300 deliveries since launch. It features advanced Garmin G5000 avionics, state-of-the-art systems, and a remarkably quiet cabin, making it highly sought after by corporations and charter clients alike.
