The Citation Latitude gave Cessna a proper flat-floor stand-up cabin in the super midsize class, and out of Los Angeles it is the value entry into the category. Seven to nine seats, 446 knots and 2,700 nautical miles.
Cessna built the Latitude with a flat-floor six-foot cabin, an airstair door and Pratt and Whitney PW306D1 engines. Seven to nine seats, 446 knots and 2,700 nautical miles of range. Every Cessna Citation Latitude we arrange flies with an operator certificated under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Cessna Citation Latitude Fits Los Angeles
The flat floor and the airstair door are what separate this from the Citation XLS a category below. Walking in rather than stepping up, and standing rather than stooping, is the difference clients notice within the first minute, and it holds for the whole flight.
At 2,700 nautical miles it reaches the East Coast from Los Angeles with a light payload and Chicago, Dallas and the Gulf comfortably with a full one. It is the shortest-legged aircraft in this category, so for a guaranteed coast-to-coast nonstop a Challenger 350 or a Longitude is the safer quote.
Cessna’s field performance advantage carries over, so the shorter Southern California runways stay more available than they would be on a Gulfstream G280. As always, the specific aircraft’s field numbers are the operator’s to confirm against the day’s conditions.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
