The Cessna Citation Latitude is a modern midsize jet with a flat-floor, six-foot stand-up cabin and one of the strongest recent sales records in its class — a fractional-fleet favorite that has built a deep, well-supported market.
Key takeaways
- Modern midsize with a flat-floor, stand-up cabin.
- ~2,700 nm range on Pratt & Whitney PW306D1 engines.
- Fractional favorite (a NetJets mainstay) — strong resale.
About the Citation Latitude
The Latitude pairs a wide, flat-floor cabin with a comfortable range around 2,700 nautical miles and a notably low cabin altitude for passenger comfort. Its clean-sheet fuselage feels a class larger than its price suggests.
Strong sales and heavy fractional adoption — it's a NetJets mainstay — have built a deep, well-supported market, which keeps values healthy and financing straightforward. It's one of the most-delivered midsize jets of recent years.
Positioned above the XLS+ and below the super-midsize Longitude, the Latitude is a natural choice for owners who want a wide, quiet cabin and transcontinental-with-a-stop capability in a current-generation airplane.
Ownership Considerations
- Fuel: the PW306D1 engines burn roughly 190–230 gallons of Jet-A per hour depending on phase.
- Engine program: P&W program enrollment supports value and financing.
- Two-crew jet in most operations.
- Maintenance: current-generation Citation support.
- Insurance: midsize-jet premiums, tied to crew qualifications.
What to Check When Buying a Citation Latitude
On a Latitude, confirm Pratt & Whitney engine-program enrollment, review the Garmin/Collins avionics currency, check scheduled-inspection status and damage/corrosion history, and confirm a clean title. Fractional-history airplanes are common — review the maintenance record and use a Citation-authorized pre-buy.
Financing a Citation Latitude
The Latitude finances as a midsize jet on your balance sheet (typically 15–20% down, often 10–15 years with a balloon). Strong demand and deep fractional adoption support loan-to-value. Engine-program coverage and a clean title are central; corporate and charter buyers may be underwritten on cash flow.
