BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CITATION LATITUDE CESSNA | MODEL 680A | CITATION LATITUDE (2015-PRESENT)
A bonfire hit, the Cessna Citation Latitude has been the world’s most-delivered midsize business jet for four consecutive years. In 2020, it surpassed 320,000 hours of fleet service. The Latitude project was announced at the NBAA convention in 2011 and the first prototype flew three years later, in 2014. The Latitude was certified by the FAA a year later. Three months later, deliveries began with its first going to a client in Japan. The Citation Latitude features a clean sheet design that is one of 13 commercial turbine aircraft built by Textron that are capable of operating on sustainable aviation fuel. Textron Aviation has embraced the usage of biofuel-related power as clients seek to reduce the environmental footprint of their private jet travel. Furthermore, Textron used the Latitude’s fuselage to expand upon and develop its big brother, the larger and longer range Super Midsize Jet, Citation Longitude years later.
