The Cessna Citation Longitude is the modern super-midsize choice for Puerto Rico from San Juan (SJU), seating 8 to 12 with 3,500 nautical miles of range and a quiet, low-altitude cabin. It links SJU to the entire US mainland or much of South America nonstop. Textron’s current flagship in the class.
Cessna introduced the Citation Longitude in 2019 with a stand-up flat-floor cabin and one of the lowest cabin altitudes in the category, cruising near 483 knots at up to 45,000 feet.
