Cessna Citation Latitude Expands Reach with First Order in Argentina

Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, has announced the first order of its best-selling Cessna Citation Latitude in Argentina. The aircraft was ordered by longtime Citation customer, Jet Clipper S.A., a charter operator covering Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, with delivery expected in 2026.

“In a region where time and access are critical, the Citation Latitude’s range and short-field capabilities empower customers to reach remote destinations quickly and efficiently,” said Marcelo Moreira, Vice President, Sales, Latin America. “The Latitude will support the customer’s existing operations by offering the perfect balance of performance and comfort expected from a Cessna Citation business jet.”

Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft account for more than 1,400 business jets and 2,200 turboprops in Latin America. Argentina alone is home to nearly 75 Cessna Citations and more than 100 Beechcraft King Airs, with the country boasting the second-largest installed base of Beechcraft King Air B200 series aircraft in the region.

“We have flown Citations since 2012, starting with a Citation Mustang, followed by a Citation M2, then a Citation CJ3+, and now our current gem, the Citation Latitude,” said Angel Zaninovich, President, Jet Clipper S.A. “Each upgrade brings new advantages while maintaining the core philosophy of Citation aircraft: quick, simple, reliable, affordable, with an efficient global support system. The Latitude is perfect for deep South America, connecting seamlessly to the United States and other destinations.”

The Citation Latitude features a stand-up flat-floor cabin with ample space for nine passengers. Its long-range capabilities allow nonstop flights between key routes such as Buenos Aires to Quito, Cordoba to Medellin, São Paulo to Oranjestad, and Lima to Jacksonville, Florida.

Preferred by customers for a wide range of operations, the Latitude supports corporate travel, charter, personal travel, air ambulance, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), utility transport, aerial survey, flight inspection, training, and other specialized missions. With its combination of comfort, versatility, and performance, the Citation Latitude continues to be a top choice in Latin America and beyond.
