Cessna Citation Longitude to make show debut at Catarina Aviation Show

As the flagship of the Cessna Citation family of business jets, the Cessna Citation Longitude will make its show debut at the Catarina Aviation Show Thursday through Saturday, June 5 - 7 at the São Paulo Catarina Aeroporto Executivo Internacional.

The Cessna Citation Longitude is designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.

“The Catarina Aviation show is an amazing opportunity to share the Citation Longitude with customers in Brazil,” said Marcelo Moreira, vice president, Sales, Latin America. “The aircraft’s range, speed and exceptional cabin experience set a new standard for luxury and efficiency in the Latin American market.”

Textron Aviation represented more than 40 percent of competitive turbine aircraft deliveries in Latin America in 2024, the largest share of any aircraft original equipment manufacturer. Overall, the region is home to nearly 1,000 Cessna Citation business jets and more than 2,100 Cessna and Beechcraft turboprops.

The Longitude is equally designed around the pilot experience, passenger comfort and overall performance, delivering an aircraft that lives up to its designation as the flagship of the Citation family of business jets.

With a range of 6,482 kilometers (3,500 nautical miles) and full fuel payload of 726 kilograms (1,600 pounds), the Citation Longitude is designed to elevate passenger expectations in the super-midsize class by delivering the quietest cabin, 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. With seating for up to 12 passengers, including an optional crew jump seat, the Longitude features a stand-up, 1.83-meter/ 6-foot tall flat-floor cabin. A standard double-club configuration delivers the most legroom in the super-midsize class. Fully berthable seats are designed and manufactured in-house, and a spacious walk-in baggage compartment is accessible throughout the flight. State-of-the-art cabin technology enables passengers to manage their environment and entertainment from a mobile device. The spacious cockpit incorporates easier access and an ergonomic design that fully focuses on crew comfort and efficiency.

The clean-sheet design of the Longitude integrates the latest technology throughout the aircraft, bringing customers the lowest direct operating cost in its class. Powered by FADEC-equipped Honeywell HTF7700L turbofan engines, the Longitude combines on-condition engine overhaul periods to best-in-class airframe intervals of 18 months and 800 hours. Textron Aviation's full time diagnostics recording system (AReS) and 3D Technical Publications combine advanced technology to reduce maintenance downtime and overall costs to operation.
