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.
260 fly with 23 operators on the FAA Part 135 list, the largest Citation Latitude charter fleet anywhere. Altivo Jets books them through these certified 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.
| Flight | Fuel | CO2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 flight hour | 950 kg | 3.0 tonnes |
| 3 flight hours | 2,860 kg | 9.0 tonnes |
| 8 flight hours | 7,630 kg | 24.1 tonnes |
Average block figures; real burn depends on weight, altitude and winds. Fuel at 0.8 kg per litre.

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.
Cabin layouts
- Two-place belted divan
- Refreshment center ahead on many aircraft
- Four-place club with writing tables
- Two forward-facing seats
- Belted side-facing seat on the left, certified for take-off and landing
- Toilet on the right, serviced from outside
- One side-facing seat
- Forward refreshment galley
- Four-place club with two writing tables
- Two forward-facing seats with writing tables
- Belted aft lavatory behind
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.

Citation Latitude charter cost per hour in the US (2026)
You pay for flight time, not the aircraft. Midsize jets like the Citation Latitude charter at about $9.8k to $10.8k per flight hour; the quote adds positioning, crew overnights, airport charges and taxes for your exact trip.
Midsize jets, per flight hour
What moves the price
- Positioning: one-way trips usually pay for the empty flight home.
- Crew overnights and waiting days on multi-day trips.
- Airport and handling fees, plus federal excise tax.
- Empty legs can cut the price sharply when one matches your dates.
Charter or own?
Owning a Citation Latitude costs about $649,000 a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about $4,800 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.
| You fly | Owning (per hour) | Charter in the US (per hour) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 hours a year | $17,800 per hour | $9.8k to $10.8k per hour |

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.
Synthetic vision guidance
Since September 2025 the FAA has approved a synthetic vision guidance system for the Latitude that allows approach minima as low as 150 ft.

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 specialistHow 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.
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.
Does the Citation Latitude have a bathroom?+
Yes. There is an enclosed lavatory at the back of the cabin, and on many aircraft it has a belted side-facing seat. The cabin is 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall, so most adults can stand upright.
What is the difference between the Citation Latitude and the Citation Longitude?+
The Longitude is the bigger of the two. Its cabin is 25 ft 2 in long against 21 ft 9 in, and it flies about 3,500 nm against about 2,700 nm. Both have a flat-floor cabin 6 ft tall and 6 ft 5 in wide. The Latitude needs less runway and costs less to run.
What is the difference between the Citation Latitude and the Citation Sovereign?+
The Latitude took over from the Sovereign+, which went out of production in 2020. It uses the same wing, tail, engine model, fuel capacity and Garmin G5000 flight deck, with a new wider fuselage and a flat floor. The Sovereign+ cabin is longer and it flies a little further.
Does NetJets fly the Citation Latitude?+
Yes. NetJets ordered 150 Latitudes in 2012 and flies the largest fleet, 138 aircraft in June 2022. Its aircraft usually have 7 seats and smaller seats than most privately owned Latitudes.
Who operates the Cessna Citation Latitude in the US?+
23 FAA Part 135 operators fly 260 of them. The largest fleets: NetJets Aviation (231), Nicholas Air (4), Aircraft Management Group (2), Davinci Jets (2) and Executive Jet Management (2).
How much does it cost to charter a Citation Latitude?+
About $9.8k to $10.8k per flight hour, before federal excise tax, positioning and airport charges. A one-way trip is priced on flight hours plus the aircraft's return positioning, so ask for a quote on your dates.
