Short answer

Chartering a Citation Longitude costs roughly $6,800 to $8,200 an hour all-in, which is the aircraft, crew, fuel and handling, not a seat price. It seats 9-12, its typical range is about 6,500 km, and it cruises near 892 km/h.

What it costs

Citation Longitude charter, priced by the hour and by the route.

The hourly band comes from our engine: the block rate for this class, fuel at the sector burn, handling and permits, a positioning multiplier of 1.50 to 1.80, and a 7% coordination fee. Fuel is priced from IATA's published jet fuel rate of $171.01 a barrel, week of 12 September 2026. A firm price comes from the operator once we have your date.

The aircraft

Citation Longitude, in plain terms.

What it is for

A newer super-midsize with a quiet cabin and transcontinental legs within reach.

Seats

Typically 9-12 in charter layout. Configurations differ between operators, so the exact cabin is confirmed with the aircraft.

Range

About 6,500 km in typical configuration, roughly 7.3 hours in the air. Payload, headwinds and fuel reserves all shorten that in practice.

Speed

Cruise near 892 km/h, so the time saved against a smaller aircraft grows with the length of the sector.

Where it stops short

A fuel stop is needed on the longest sectors we price, for example New York to Dubai.

Luggage

Baggage volume matters as much as seats. Skis, golf bags and film equipment change the aircraft choice more often than passenger count does.

When a Citation Longitude is the right aircraft

A newer super-midsize with a quiet cabin and transcontinental legs within reach.

The honest test is three questions: how many people are travelling with luggage, how far the longest leg is, and which airports you actually need. This aircraft carries 9-12 and reaches about 6,500 km, so a group at the top of that seat count on a sector near the top of that range is where it starts to run out of margin. Fuel, passengers and bags compete for the same weight, and on a full sector something has to give. When that happens the answer is usually the next size up rather than a fuel stop, because a stop costs an hour of block time, a landing fee and a second departure.

How the price on this page is built

The hourly band of $6,800 to $8,200 covers the aircraft, crew, fuel and handling, and the spread between the two numbers is the positioning multiplier: 1.50 when an aircraft is likely to be near you, 1.80 when it has to be flown in. That empty leg to reach you is the single largest variable in charter, which is why the same aircraft on the same route can price very differently on two dates. Fuel is priced from IATA's published jet fuel rate of $171.01 a barrel for the week of 12 September 2026, with an into-plane allowance on top.

What is not in the number: landing and parking fees at unusual airports, overflight permits on long international sectors, premium catering, ground transport, de-icing in winter, and crew overnight costs when the schedule requires them. Those are itemised on the operator quote rather than buried in an hourly rate. We are a broker, so the operator flying you is named in writing before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to charter a Citation Longitude?

About $6,800 to $8,200 an hour all-in on our own pricing engine, covering aircraft, crew, fuel, handling and coordination. The hourly figure is only a guide: the empty positioning flight to reach you is often the biggest single item, so a short trip with the aircraft already nearby can price far below a long one.

How many passengers does a Citation Longitude carry?

Typically 9-12 in charter configuration. On a long sector the fuel load can reduce the seats that are actually usable, so a full cabin plus luggage sometimes means moving up a size.

What is the range of a Citation Longitude?

About 6,500 km in typical charter configuration, or roughly 7.3 hours in the air at its 892 km/h cruise. Headwinds, payload and reserves all shorten it in practice.

Which routes can a Citation Longitude fly non-stop?

From the routes we publish, it reaches 92 of them non-stop. The table on this page lists the busiest ones with prices.

Is a Citation Longitude the right aircraft for my trip?

It depends on three things: how many people, how far, and which airports. Send the route, the date and the passenger count and we will price this aircraft against the sizes either side of it, so you can see what the difference buys.
