The Cessna Citation Hemisphere is Textron’s widest-cabin design for Puerto Rico long-range trips from San Juan (SJU), planned for 12 to 19 seats and 4,500 nautical miles of range. It is intended to link SJU to the US West Coast, western Europe, or much of South America nonstop in the largest Citation cabin. Note that the program is currently suspended.
Cessna (Textron Aviation) announced the Citation Hemisphere as its largest jet, with the widest cabin in the Citation line and around 4,500-nautical-mile range. Development has been paused, so availability should be confirmed with us before planning.

Why the Cessna Citation Hemisphere Fits Puerto Rico
Intended for Puerto Rico clients who want a very wide cabin with true long range from SJU, the Hemisphere would cover San Juan to Europe or the US West Coast nonstop. Because the program is suspended, we confirm current status and propose an equivalent in-service jet.
Where a client asks specifically about the Hemisphere, we match the mission to a flying large-cabin option out of SJU rather than an aircraft not yet in service.
