Good to know
Cessna Citation III / VI / VII charter questions
How much does it cost to charter a Cessna Citation III / VI / VII?
We do not publish an estimated hourly rate for the Cessna Citation III / VI / VII: charter pricing for this type varies too much by operator, age and configuration for a single figure to be honest. Dispatch sends a trip-specific total quote for your actual route and dates, usually after current availability is checked.
How many passengers does the Cessna Citation III / VI / VII carry?
7 in the normal charter layout and up to 13 in a high-density configuration. Baggage volume varies by configuration on this type — dispatch checks the actual aircraft before confirming.
How far can the Cessna Citation III / VI / VII fly?
2,348 nautical miles (2,702 statute miles) at a 472 kt cruise. Real range drops with headwind, full seats and hot high airports, so we plan the fuel stop rather than discover it.
Which airports can the Cessna Citation III / VI / VII use?
As a midsize jet it typically needs about 5,000 ft of runway at mid weights. Runway suitability depends on the actual aircraft, payload, weather and field conditions, so dispatch checks the proposed airport for the requested date.
