Cessna Citation Longitude Overview
The Cessna Citation Longitude is a super‑midsize business jet manufactured by Textron Aviation (Cessna), and represents the flagship of the Citation family. Certified in late 2019, it was developed from the Citation Latitude with a stretched fuselage and upgraded wing design. It carries up to twelve passengers in a full-length, flat‑floor cabin featuring double‑club seating, generous legroom, low cabin altitude, quiet acoustics, and in-flight baggage access. Powered by twin Honeywell HTF‑7700L engines, it cruises at Mach 0.84 with a range of about 3,500 nmi—ideal for transcontinental and light transatlantic missions. From a passenger's perspective, this means high-speed, long‑range travel in comfort and tranquillity. Simply Jet recommends the Longitude for discerning clients who need maximum range and space with cost-efficient luxury.
Aircraft Features
Range and Performance
The Cessna Citation Longitude offers a maximum range of approximately 3,500 nautical miles (6,482 km), enabling non‑stop journeys such as New York to Paris or London to Dubai. With a cruise speed near Mach 0.84, passengers enjoy fast, direct travel across continents with minimal stops. This performance translates into fewer interruptions, more time at the destination, and reduced fatigue. Simply Jet recommends the Longitude for clients seeking comfort and flexibility on long-range missions with seamless connectivity and time efficiency.
Cabin Comfort and Configuration
The Cessna Citation Longitude typically seats eight passengers in a standard double-club configuration, and can accommodate up to twelve with a divan and optional jump seat. It features a flat‑floor, stand‑up cabin approximately 6 ft tall, allowing passengers to move comfortably through the aisle. The cabin offers class‑leading legroom, silent acoustic design, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. Together, these details deliver a spacious, quiet, and flexible environment—ideal for meetings, relaxing, or stretching out during longer journeys.
Onboard Amenities
The Cessna Citation Longitude offers a best‑in‑class forward galley for hot or cold service, a fully enclosed aft lavatory with vanity, and in‑flight access to the spacious baggage compartment. Passengers benefit from a wireless cabin management system to control lighting, temperature and entertainment, and an optional high‑speed in-flight Wi‑Fi connection. With cabin noise at around 67 dB—among the quietest in its class—and precise pressurisation, the interior environment remains calm, comfortable and conducive to rest or productivity.
Technology and Flight Deck
The Citation Longitude features the advanced Garmin G5000 avionics suite, offering pilots three high-resolution displays, touchscreen controllers, synthetic vision, autothrottle systems, and in‑flight diagnostics for enhanced safety, efficiency, and situational awareness. Powered by Honeywell HTF‑7700L engines, it delivers quiet, fuel-efficient, long‑range performance. From a client perspective, this translates into smoother operations, rapid routing decisions, and fewer disruptions, underpinning a consistently reliable and reassuring flight experience.
Cessna Citation Longitude Certification
Announced at EBACE in May 2012, the Citation Longitude achieved its first flight on October 8, 2016, flying from Wichita with its prototype completing key flight‑test milestones. Following an intensive testing campaign of thousands of hours and flights, it earned FAA type certification on September 21, 2019, and shortly thereafter entered service in early October 2019. The EASA certification followed on July 13, 2021, enabling European operations. Simply Jet values its proven maturity, global certification, and reliable availability for high‑mission readiness.
