Why charter a Citation?
Textron's Cessna has delivered more than 8,000 Citations, making it the most widespread business-jet family on earth — which for charter means unmatched availability and short-notice sourcing across Europe and the US.
The CJ series and M2 own the light segment for 1-2 hour hops, the XLS+ remains a perennial charter workhorse, and the flat-floor Latitude and Longitude add stand-up cabins and up to 6,482 km of range. Citation charters start from the hourly rates shown below — among the most accessible in our network — each operated under an EASA or FAA commercial certificate and independently safety-audited before it is quoted.

Buyer guide
When to charter Cessna
Cessna Citations dominate short-haul charter because availability is unmatched and operating economics stay predictable.
Choose Cessna when…
- You need frequent European city pairs with fast sourcing and competitive light/midsize rates.
- Passenger count stays in the 4–9 range and runway access matters.
- You want a large installed base for last-minute empty-leg or replacement aircraft.
Consider alternatives when…
- The mission needs a true stand-up long-range cabin.
- Intercontinental non-stop is required.
- You need a conference-group layout for 12+ passengers.
