About the Citation Latitude
The Cessna Citation Latitude is the aircraft that reset expectations for the midsize class, pairing a genuinely flat-floor, six-foot stand-up cabin with the simplicity and support that define the Citation line. Since entering service in 2015 it has become one of the best-selling midsize jets in the world and a mainstay of large fractional fleets, precisely because it delivers big-cabin comfort at midsize operating economics.
Built around a wide oval fuselage, it seats up to nine in a cabin that feels a class above its footprint, with a flat floor, large windows and a walk-in baggage area. Garmin G5000 avionics and Pratt & Whitney PW306D engines give it a cruise around Mach 0.80 and a range of roughly 2,700 nautical miles — enough to link most US transcontinental city pairs nonstop with a full cabin.
The Latitude suits operators who want stand-up comfort and proven reliability without stepping up to super-midsize costs. Buyers who need transatlantic range or the widest cabin in the segment will look to the larger Citation Longitude or a super-midsize rival; those who prioritise cabin comfort, dispatch reliability and the vast Citation support network in a right-sized aircraft consistently land on the Latitude.

How much does it cost to own a Citation Latitude?
Total cost of ownership for the Citation Latitude depends mostly on how much you fly it. The largest drivers are crew, the engine/maintenance program, fuel, insurance and hangarage. Enter your own annual hours in the calculator above for an estimated annual cost and a fully-burdened cost per flight hour, then talk to our advisors for a precise model built on current market data.
What is the Citation Latitude's operating cost per flight hour?
Hourly cost is driven by fuel burn, engine and airframe maintenance programs, and reserves.

What are the biggest costs of owning a Citation Latitude?
Ownership costs split into fixed costs that you pay regardless of flying (crew salaries, insurance, hangar, management and scheduled maintenance reserves) and variable costs that scale with hours flown (fuel, engine-program charges and maintenance). For a business jets like the Citation Latitude, crew and the engine program are typically among the largest line items.
Is it cheaper to charter or to own a Citation Latitude?
At low or variable annual utilisation, chartering or leasing is usually more economical because you avoid the fixed costs of ownership; above a breakeven level of annual hours, owning the Citation Latitude tends to win. Model your hours in the calculator, then compare against our charter and leasing options to find your breakeven.
