Cessna Citation Longitude
Quietest cabin Textron has built; NetJets ordered hundreds for a reason.
What you are paying for
The Longitude is Textron’s statement that it can build a big jet: the quietest cabin the company has produced, a flat floor, 3,500 nm of legs, and maintenance intervals stretched to airline norms. NetJets bet on it by the hundreds. It gives up 500 nm to the Praetor 600 and shrugs; its buyers fly Teterboro to Vail, not transatlantic.

Typical pre-owned asks run EST $21M–$26M. Owning a Cessna Citation Longitude and flying it 200 hours a year models out to roughly $3.61M–$4.94M per year all-in: crew, hangar, insurance, maintenance programs, and depreciation included.

Alternatives worth pricing
- Bombardier Challenger 3500: Widest cabin in the class; the 350/3500 line dominates US super-mid charter.
- Embraer Praetor 600: London–New York against most winds. Class-leading range on paper and in practice.
- Gulfstream G280: The Gulfstream badge and short-field talent in a super-mid body.
