Cessna Citation Latitude for Sale

The Cessna Citation Latitude has been the best-selling midsize business jet in the world for multiple consecutive years, prized for its flat-floor stand-up cabin, transcontinental range, and competitive operating economics at a midsize price point. It dominates charter and fractional fleets thanks to a cabin experience typically reserved for the super-midsize category, paired with the dispatch reliability buyers expect from the Citation line.

The Jet Guys helps qualified buyers source, vet, and acquire Citation Latitude aircraft through our dedicated acquisition consulting service. From the initial market search through pre-buy inspection, negotiation, and closing, our team manages the transaction on your behalf.

frequently asked questions

Citation Latitude Acquisition FAQ

How much does a Cessna Citation Latitude cost?

Pre-owned Latitudes typically range from around $12M for earlier examples to roughly $19M for the most recent aircraft; the new list price is approximately $19M. Exact pricing depends on year, total hours, engine program enrollment, and cabin upgrades. Contact us for current market figures.

How long does the acquisition process take?

Midsize jet acquisitions typically run 60 to 120 days from initial search to closing, depending on inspection findings and financing. We guide you through each stage to keep the process moving efficiently.

Does The Jet Guys handle pre-buy inspections?

We coordinate the pre-buy inspection with trusted third-party facilities as part of the acquisition process. We don't operate an in-house maintenance shop, but we have the outside resources — inspectors, attorneys, and tax consultants — to manage the transaction end to end.

Can I offset ownership costs by chartering my Citation Latitude?

The Latitude has exceptional charter appeal — it's one of the most-flown midsize jets in fractional and charter fleets — which can meaningfully help offset ownership costs. The Jet Guys doesn't directly manage aircraft, but we can advise on placement with a reputable management company through our industry relationships.

What should I look for when buying a used Citation Latitude?

Key factors include engine program enrollment (e.g. ESP Gold), airframe hours, inspection status, avionics configuration (Garmin G5000), connectivity (Gogo AVANCE, Ka-band, Starlink), and any damage history. We review all of this during the vetting process.

Are off-market Citation Latitude aircraft available?

Yes — it's often possible to locate off-market aircraft through our relationships and trusted aircraft broker network, which can widen your options beyond publicly listed inventory.
