Charter a Cessna Citation Sovereign: Up to 9 Passengers, About 2,620 nm Nonstop
Need to fly up to nine people 2,000 nm and more, and still land at a small airport with a short runway? The Cessna Citation Sovereign was designed for exactly that: London to Istanbul, Dubai to Almaty or Geneva to Tel Aviv nonstop, with a takeoff run of about 1,110 m.
The 7.70 m cabin is usually arranged as a double club of eight seats, so half the group can hold a meeting while the others rest. A galley, an aft lavatory and 3.8 m³ of baggage space make it practical for longer trips.
ICCJET finds the aircraft and the operator, checks the route and organises the trip.
Free route check. Send your route, date and number of passengers. ICCJET tells you whether the Citation Sovereign flies it nonstop, which jets fit better if it does not, and what the trip involves. No obligation.

Payload
Passengers, bags and range: the honest numbers
Every private jet trades passengers for fuel. Here is how it works on the Citation Sovereign, in plain numbers.
The Citation Sovereign carries a maximum payload of about 1,202 kg: passengers and bags together. With full tanks, about 534 kg of payload remains, roughly 5 passengers with bags at 100 kg each. With a full cabin the operator trims fuel to the trip.
Comfort
Cabin and baggage
The cabin is 7.70 m long, 1.68 m wide and 1.73 m high. The standard layout is a double club: two groups of four seats facing each other across tables, plus a side seat.
Bags go in the 3.8 m³ of baggage space, mostly in the large external compartment. Tell ICCJET about skis, golf bags or large boxes when you book.
