The Cessna Citation Latitude put a stand-up flat-floor cabin and 2,700 nautical miles of range into a super midsize platform that Dallas clients can operate from Addison Airport (KADS) with field performance better than most aircraft in its category. For DFW principals who want a fresher cabin than the Hawker-era midsize jets and a rate that sits below the Challenger 350, the Latitude is the answer.
Textron Aviation developed the Citation Latitude as the replacement for the Citation Sovereign, introducing a new fuselage cross-section with a fully flat floor and stand-up cabin height, powered by Pratt and Whitney Canada PW306D turbofans. The cabin seats 7 to 9 passengers. Range is 2,700 nautical miles. It entered service in 2015 and has built one of the larger super midsize charter fleets. Every Cessna Citation Latitude we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Cessna Citation Latitude Fits Dallas
The Citation Latitude’s field performance is one of its defining characteristics. Shorter runways across the DFW metro area, including Dallas Executive Airport (KRBD) on the south side and Fort Worth Meacham International (KFTW) at 7,502 feet, are accessible to the Latitude without field length becoming a factor. For clients in south Dallas or Fort Worth who prefer not to drive to KADS, the Latitude opens up alternatives.
At 2,700 nautical miles, Dallas to New York is a solid nonstop with a standard cabin load. Dallas to Los Angeles and Dallas to Miami are equally comfortable. The range does not reach the Caribbean’s furthest points nonstop from Dallas, so for Nassau or beyond, the Challenger 350 or Gulfstream G280 have a meaningful range advantage. For continental US routes, the Latitude covers every DFW corridor comfortably.
The stand-up cabin and flat floor are the interior experience upgrades over the midsize band. A Dallas corporate team of seven to eight stepping from a Hawker 800XP to a Citation Latitude will notice the difference in cabin height and aisle usability on a Dallas to Chicago or Dallas to New York leg.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Charter Pricing Reference
Industry hourly rates for the Cessna Citation Latitude run $6,500 to $8,500 per hour as of 8/2026. Actual quotes vary by operator, routing, positioning, and date.
At $6,500 to $8,500 per hour, the Citation Latitude prices similarly to the Challenger 350 but with less range. On shorter domestic corridors from Dallas on those corridors, it is worth pricing as a newer alternative to the midsize jets.
