PlaneFox tracks 1 Cessna Citation Longitude aircraft for sale and re-reads every one of them from the broker and dealer sites it watches, so the figures below move when the market moves. Every number on this page is measured from those live listings, not taken from a published price guide.
A Cessna Citation Longitude flies about 3,500 nm, roughly 6,482 km, which is about 7 h 15 min in still air at typical cruise.
A Cessna Citation Longitude costs about EUR 72,884 a month to run, or about EUR 4,029 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The Cessna Citation Longitude is Textron Aviation’s Model 700, a clean sheet super midsize business jet positioned above the Citation Latitude and below large cabin jets. It first flew on October 8, 2016, received FAA type certification in 2019, and entered customer service the same year. Production remains current. The aircraft matters in the used market because it brought longer range, a flat floor stand up cabin, fully integrated Garmin avionics, and modern maintenance monitoring to the Citation family while retaining the operating profile expected by many owner operators and corporate flight departments.
Typical published performance includes a maximum range of about 3,500 nautical miles, a maximum cruise speed around 483 knots, and a certified ceiling of 45,000 feet. Power comes from two Honeywell HTF7700L turbofan engines, each rated at 7,665 pounds of thrust. The aircraft is certified for two pilots. Published payload figures vary by configuration, but maximum payload is about 2,600 pounds, with full fuel payload commonly cited around 1,600 pounds. Buyers should compare actual weight and balance data from the aircraft records, since interior options, equipment changes, and service bulletins can affect dispatch flexibility.
The Citation Longitude typically seats eight to twelve passengers, depending on the cabin layout, with a common arrangement of double club seating, an aft lavatory, and a forward galley. The cabin has a flat floor, stand up height, and a quiet interior design using Textron’s sound reduction work from the Longitude program. Baggage access and galley configuration should be checked carefully, as they influence trip comfort more than the seat count alone.
Avionics are based on the Garmin G5000 flight deck, not Garmin Perspective or G1000. The suite includes large touchscreen controllers, synthetic vision capability, autothrottle, performance management features, and integrated systems monitoring. Many aircraft are also equipped with connectivity, cabin management, and entertainment options that differ by serial number and completion specification.
Used Citation Longitude aircraft are recent model year jets, so condition differences often relate to utilization, warranty status, engine program enrollment, avionics software status, and cabin option fit rather than age alone. Pre purchase review should include engine trend data, maintenance tracking, service bulletin compliance, damage history, and records for major inspections.
The market positioning is modern super midsize, with buyers often comparing it against aircraft that offer similar range but different cabin width, runway performance, operating costs, or fleet support. There are no major production variants in the way older Citation lines have distinct submodels, so value is driven mainly by serial number, total time, program coverage, equipment, interior condition, and delivery pedigree.
