Expected to be delivered in 2026, the Longitude will be used for business and personal travel.
In 2024, Textron Aviation aircraft represented 40 percent of competitive turbine aircraft deliveries in Latin America — the largest share of any aircraft original equipment manufacturer. The region is home to nearly 1,000 Cessna Citation business jets and more than 2,100 Cessna and Beechcraft turboprops.
The Longitude delivers the quietest cabin in the super-midsize class, a stand-up 1.83-meter/6-foot tall flat-floor cabin and seating for up to 12 passengers with a standard double-club configuration that delivers the most legroom in its class.
With a range of 6,482 kilometers (3,500 nautical miles) and full fuel payload of 726 kilograms (1,600 pounds), the Citation Longitude offers customers a low cabin altitude (1,509 meters / 4,950 feet) at 12,500 meters/ 41,000 feet, more standard features and a comfortable, bespoke interior. The aircraft features fully berthable seats and a spacious walk-in baggage compartment that is accessible throughout the flight. The spacious cockpit incorporates easier access and an ergonomic design that fully focuses on crew comfort and efficiency.
