What is the Cessna Citation Longitude?
The Cessna Citation Longitude is Cessna's flagship super midsize jet. It usually seats 8 in two clubs, can be certified for up to 12, and flies 3,500 nm with 4 passengers. It entered service in 2019, and NetJets ordered up to 175 of them, so it is common in fractional and charter fleets in the US.
8 seats in two four-seat clubs as standard, up to 12 certified, in a flat-floor cabin 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall and 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) wide.
3,500 nm of range with 4 passengers at Mach 0.80 and NBAA IFR reserves.
Club seats berth flat, so up to 4 people can sleep. 15 large windows light the cabin.
112 cu ft walk-in baggage hold you can reach during the flight, and a cabin kept at 4,950 ft while cruising at 41,000 ft.
107 fly with 6 operators on the FAA Part 135 list, the largest Citation Longitude charter fleet anywhere. Altivo Jets books them through these certified operators.

Fuel burn and CO2
The Citation Longitude burns about 316 US gallons (957 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 | 960 kg | 3.0 tonnes |
| 3 flight hours | 2,870 kg | 9.1 tonnes |
| 8 flight hours | 7,650 kg | 24.2 tonnes |
Average block figures; real burn depends on weight, altitude and winds. Fuel at 0.8 kg per litre.

Charter or own?
Owning a Citation Longitude costs about $775,000 a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about $5,400 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.
