Compare · a midsize against a super-mid at overlapping rates
Citation Latitude vs Citation Longitude
The Citation Longitude costs about $1,200 an hour more. Both work from the same fields, so the choice comes down to cabin and range.
| Class | Midsize · Super-mid |
|---|---|
| Seats | 9 · 12 |
| Range | 2,700 · 3,500 nm |
| Hourly | $5,400 · $6,600 |
Specification against specification
Published figures. The better of the two on each measure is marked.
| Measure | Citation Latitude | Citation Longitude |
|---|---|---|
| Passengers | 9 | 12 |
| Range | 2,700 nm | 3,500 nm |
| Cruise | 446 kt | 483 kt |
| Cabin heightThe specification that most changes how a four-hour flight feels. | 6 ft | 6 ft |
| Cabin length | 21.9 ft | 25.2 ft |
| Runway neededShorter is better: it decides which fields are open to you. | 3,580 ft | 4,810 ft |
| WingspanSpan-limited fields refuse on this number alone. | 72.3 ft | 68.9 ft |
| Hourly rate | $5,400–6,700 | $6,600–8,100 |

Which one for your trip
A specification comparison answers which aircraft is better. It cannot answer which is available on your date, near your departure field, at a price worth paying — and that is usually what decides it. Ask, and a broker checks both with contracted operators.
