Overview

What is the Cessna Citation Latitude?

The Cessna Citation Latitude is a twin-engine midsize jet that seats up to 9 passengers and flies about 2,700 nm with 4. Its cabin has a flat floor and is 6 ft tall, so most adults can stand. It was first delivered in 2015, 309 had been built by June 2022, and NetJets flies the largest fleet.

A flat-floor cabin 21 ft 9 in (6.63 m) long, 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) wide and 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall, with 587 cu ft of space.

About 2,700 nm of range with 4 passengers at high-speed cruise, and a top cruise speed of 446 kts.

Takes off in about 3,580 ft at maximum weight, so it uses many airports that larger jets cannot.

127 cu ft of baggage space: a 100 cu ft heated hold in the tail and 27 cu ft inside the cabin.

3 fly with 1 operator holding a German air operator certificate, based in Hannover. Altivo Jets books them through these licensed operators.

Fuel burn and CO2

The Citation Latitude burns about 315 US gallons (954 kg) of jet fuel an hour, which puts out about 3.0 tonnes of CO2. Sustainable aviation fuel, where the departure airport has it, cuts the lifecycle figure.

Interior

Citation Latitude interior and cabin layout

Most Latitudes seat 7 to 9 passengers around a four-place club in the middle of the cabin. jetAVIVA describes three common cabins: 7 seats with a large galley, 8 seats with a two-place divan in place of the large galley, and 9 seats with a belted seat in the aft lavatory. Every aircraft is fitted out by its owner, so we confirm the exact seat map and Wi-Fi with each quote. The layouts below come from listings of aircraft offered for sale.

How big is the cabin?

6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall and 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) wide: a 1.80 m adult stands upright in the aisle. The cabin runs 21 ft 9 in (6.63 m), 587 cu ft in all.

Drawn to scale from the height and width; the figure is 1.80 m tall.

Cabin size

21 ft 9 in (6.63 m) long, 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) wide and 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall: 587 cu ft of cabin space.

Galley

A forward refreshment center by the entry door. Textron offers a larger refreshment center as an option, and 7 seat cabins usually have the larger galley. Listings we checked show a forward refreshment galley and an extended galley with a storage cabinet.

Lavatories

One enclosed lavatory at the back of the cabin. On many aircraft it has a belted side-facing seat for a ninth passenger, part of Textron's standard layout at launch. One 2022 aircraft lists a toilet serviced from outside.

Wi-Fi and connectivity

Varies by aircraft. Textron fits domestic Wi-Fi as standard, and most aircraft we checked use Gogo Avance L5 air-to-ground Wi-Fi. A 2025 aircraft for sale has Starlink. The Clairity cabin system lets passengers stream media and control lights and temperature from their own devices. We confirm the system for your aircraft.

Baggage

127 cu ft in total. The main hold is 100 cu ft in the tail, heated, with steps built in, and loaded from outside, so you cannot reach it in flight. Another 27 cu ft of storage is inside the cabin. Textron says the hold takes up to 1,000 lb.

Cabin altitude

5,950 ft at 45,000 ft. A lower cabin altitude means less fatigue and better sleep on long flights.

Cabin updates

Garmin G5000 flight deck with three 14 in displays, touchscreen controllers and autothrottles. Cabin altitude of 5,950 ft at 45,000 ft, and 4,950 ft at 41,000 ft. Bongiovi audio system that plays from personal devices, with optional satellite radio. From late 2025, a synthetic vision guidance system that allows approaches down to 150 ft.

Airports

Where the Citation Latitude can land

A midsize jet with a short take-off run for its size.

Runway needed

About 3,580 ft to take off at maximum weight at sea level, and about 2,480 ft to land. Hot or high airports need more.

Low-visibility approaches

Textron lists RNP AR approaches down to 0.3 nm as standard and Category II approaches as an option. The operator needs its own approval, which we check before we quote.

Safety

Citation Latitude safety record

Events from official investigations. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.

June 2026

A NetJets Latitude (N523QS) flying from Los Cabos to Austin diverted to Laredo, Texas, after right-side fuel pressure and electrical alerts. Both engines flamed out on final approach and it landed on a road short of the airport. One passenger died and the captain was seriously hurt. The NTSB's preliminary report found a separated fuel pressure switch and a damaged starter generator on the right engine. The cause has not been determined.

August 2019

A Latitude (N8JR) bounced on landing at Elizabethton, Tennessee, lost control, collapsed its landing gear and ran off the runway. All 5 people on board got out, 3 with minor injuries. The NTSB found the cause was the pilot continuing an unstabilized approach and the crew not going around before touchdown.

2015 to 2026

The Aviation Safety Network keeps the full list of Latitude accidents and incidents.

Ask a specialist
How much does a Cessna Citation Latitude cost?+

GlobalAir lists a new Latitude at $17.3 million (Q2 2025). Aircraft Bluebook valued 2020 to 2024 aircraft at $17.5 million to $19.5 million in May 2025, and a 2022 aircraft was offered at $18.75 million in October 2026. Running one costs about $649,000 a year in fixed costs plus about $4,840 per flight hour.

How many passengers does a Citation Latitude seat?+

Up to 9. Most aircraft seat 7 to 9 around a four-place club, and the ninth seat is often a belted seat in the lavatory. NetJets aircraft usually seat 7. We confirm the seat map of your aircraft with the quote. Citation Latitudes on the German charter list are fitted for 9.

How far can a Citation Latitude fly?+

About 2,700 nm with 4 passengers at high-speed cruise, with NBAA IFR reserves. Its top cruise speed is 446 kts and it can fly as high as 45,000 ft. With more passengers or bags the range is shorter.
